1) I have the reinstall DVD that came with my XPS...if UI swithc back to XP, will I have any trouble reusing vista on my XPS in the future?

2) For some reason, my dvd drive would not open...windows detected it but it looked like a driver error? Reboot fixed it. Is this a problem with Vista?

3) My firewire external hd, which worked fine the first time I plugged it in, all of s sudden gave me an error last night saying the driver wasn't working. Again, a reboot fixed it.

Should I contact Dell requesting a new MB? DVDROM? or is it vista being a _itch?

I'm so lost.
 
hahaha, i think its cute when people immediately blame vista for thier problems. it sounds like something happened though, but unless it keeps doing it i wouldnt worry. reboots have fixed a many a problems throughout all OS's ever. just keep using it for now, see if the problem repeats itself before you start digging further. there is no vista problems i have heard like yours, its either bad hardware or something else that happened. hopefully it was just a glitch.
 
i must be lucky then. im actually impressed how quickly it access all my drives, its much faster then xp ever was at dropping down the explorer menus.

is gregmal talking about those old 40pin ide cables?
 
Not certain.

But both drives are SATA. It's truly bizarre. It's only happened once...not again. Reboots fixed both. Perhaps it's a power problem?
