From: Bernhard Ecke on 31 Aug 2006 13:31 The problem is that i istalled VISTA Beta in another Partition. This overwrites the Masterboot-record. The Symatec Recover Partition allready exist. DELL - Support can not give me the file dellmbr.bin and i don`t have another DELL Computer. Is there any link to download this file? I have a Notebook Inspiron 9400 from Germany. Is the file equal than US/GERMAN or other?

There have only been two installs of the OS on the machine. The factory install of March 2004, and my reinstall of around June 2005, when it came back from college with my daughter. After my reinstall, it ran very nice, back to factory condition, even after all the updates and applications, and reloading all data files. She took it back to school. Beginning in early to mid 2006, it got sluggish on boot up. That's when I began posting on usenet, and the dell forums. So far, no suggestions have worked. Problem persists. But once it boots up, it 'flys'. This is a tough one, which I may never resolve other than by reinstalling the OS again. This may be the best thing to do, anyway. I wonder if an MS Update has scuttled the thing. I don't have a restore point far back enough to try, though. Thanks Bruce

As I said, use dsrfix. Dan Goodell www.goodells.net/dellrestore/fixes.htm
