Thanks

Just did the upgrade and it turned out ok. Not surprisingly, it had some of the usual dell bumps. Did a hard reset and then got things going, then it said the power was disconnected??

Note: after 1st hard reset I noticed x51v was running much faster I didn't realize how much it had slowed. 10sec boot time after password etc.

I rebooted and forgot to disable zone alarm and avg but fortunately they didn't interfere. The device was not recognized as in new hardware, the screen froze at first part of update and would not turn off or soft or hard reset I had to pull the battery out. After that when the update was appled and I went to hard reset the screen flashed by so quickly I had no time to press button 2. I tried like 4x and then said screw it and continued.

Running excellent now --- thanks for the write up and the pre prep - totally forgot about the mem card/firewall/AV etc.

This update is a must.
