enter N4050 in the empty box under the logo of DELL and press OK.

a6. when windows restart, press F2 again and DO NOT CHANGE THE ADVANCE SETTING,
just change the boot sequence to hard drive as first priority > save and exit.

IF you have already deleted the Ubunto operating system:

another option which should be Repair windows.

7. no need to go in a sequence
8. just double click on files in every folder and click on OK,s (remember
which architecture of window you are using . 32bit or 64bit ? ) because you don't need
32bit drivers in 64 bit version, they will simply not work.
9. when unzipping certain driver files you may get prompts to install the
software immediate, don't be shy, go ahead and install.
10. no need to restart your computer after every single driver install, wait to finish all the
installation then restart your computer.

The above method worked for me and I installed Windows 7 Enterprise.

Hope this information help you guys out.

------------------------------------------------

Do not go for windows XP. Installing windows XP is not going to work on these laptops as you
may not find any suitable drivers for windows XP to match with the hardware.

I suggest to install win 7 (64 bit)and it is better if you install ultimate or professional addition. I
bought an ACTIVATED DVD of win 7 from market. Also remember that win 7 is also available
in simple two CD pack which is totally crap so spend some money on a good DVD.
