Hello,
I have a Dell Vostro with windows7 professional 32bit that I bought back in 2008. I had the drive encrypted because I used to take it with me for work and school and besides I didn't want my kids to download games on it. Well time went on.. I bought 2 other laptop & stopped using the Dell. I'm going back to what I was doing. Here is my problem. I want to format the drive, it gives me access denied. No matter what I do. I have software's that I want to use and download. Problem it does not work on Windows 7 either 32 or 64 bit. What I have was designed for XP. I paid a lot of money for it. I would have to buy it again and I don't want to. It's too expensive. These are all study medical programs that I bought when I was in school. I'm up to my witz end and I don't know what to do. I really don't want to spend another 4K for it. Dell wont help without a fee. Obviously the service contract expired.
Thanks
Cary
