The SSD is the faster than the conventional WD, Samsung hard drive and will offer superior performance but will have less storage capacity. Comparing two crucial drivers the v4 and the m4, one drive is faster than the other but in both cases the system will limit the speed of the m4 drive so it runs the same speed as the v4 drive so there is no advantage in m4 over v4 in your model. With regards to the double install that was assuming you had the upgrade product key only. In which case it would work with a downloadable Windows 7 .iso which can be used to make an installation USB. You would need the Windows 7 Ultimate full/upgrade product key however which I assume you don't have.  Dell will only provide the reinstallation DVD for the OS the system shipped with, therefore they will send out with the original Operating System i.e. Windows 7 Home Premium and not Windows 7 Ultimate. You can try reseating the hard drive but in my experience the error 2000-0146 simply means the drive needs to be replaced. If the drive is reseated and works again it probably would only do so for a very short time before failing.
Hi Guys  My friend has a Dell Inspiron N4010 laptop.Its configuration is i3 processor,2gb ram,320gb hdd and no video card.He only use it to access the internet.The softwares installed are like chrome,media player,MS-Office,KAV etc.Windows Home Basic was pre-installed in it when he brought it 2 years back.Last year he got Windows 7 Ultimate installed in it from Dell's service centre.It was working fine but since the past week it became very very slow.Few hours ago when we opened chrome,it took like 5-10 minutes in the processing and still it didnt open,then we opened the task manager but it showed not responding.Anyways we turned off the laptop from the power button and when we restarted it using start windows normally,a black screen came.We waited for few minutes then selected start windows in cmd mode.It was loading the system 32 files but it stopped at some driver file and then we again restarted it,this time it itself started in startup repairs option.It took another 5-10 minutes and then it said if we wanted to restore it to some earlier point we clicked ok,but we waited for more than 1 hour it was still repairing so we turned it off.When we restart the laptop below the Dell Inspiron starting screen there are options of setup and boot and both of them works just fine When we select boot option a boot menu opens up,which has these options  +Hard Drive CD/DVD/CD-RW Devices Removable Devices Network Diagnostics    If we run Diagnostics,it completes 100% and then says   Error Code 0146  Msg:Error Code 2000-0146  Msg:Hard Drive 0-self test log contains previous error(s) the given error code and message can be used by technical support to diagnose the problem  Do you want to continue testing?   Then we select No   If F8 is pressed to open the advanced boot setup it shows this screen Windows7/Vista/Server (Pointer) Windows7/Vista/Server Windows7/Vista/Server (Debug - Default mode) Windows7/Vista/Server (Debug - Legacy mode) Windows7/Vista/Server (No SLIC - Pointer) Windows7/Vista/Server (No SLIC) Windows NT/2000/XP Loader Help  Use up/down keys to highlight an entry.Press ENTER or 'b' to boot.Press 'c' for a command-line. F8 was pressed just as the Dell logo disappears as mentioned in some of the threads but it shows up the same page  How to rectify it?Formatting is not an option since there are some important files on the desktop.Is it true that Dell India provides Windows CD/DVD with the laptops when we purchase them?  Thanx
