Howdy. Well I got it working again. I ran to wal-mart and bought a USB floppy drive. I did the floppy disk thing, and it worked. I just reformated and installed a fresh copy of windows xp pro. I just finished installing all my drivers, etc. Thanks for your help dude. Next time I buy an alienware im definately buying that AlienRespawn thing.

Glad it worked out! I actually got the AlienRespawn DVDs, but don't use it anymore because I upgraded so many things on my computer that it was faster to just do it from scratch...

Hi I bought my Area 51M laptop off ebay and it was working great then I had to reformat it and now I found out that the master cd does not work. I was wondering if anyone has a Base System Device driver, Multimedia audio controller

I keep geeting this error message, the Intel chipset software installation utility requires a supported chipset platform running on a supported OS.
