RE: cable to connect CD drive to audio card

Hello

Thank you for your kind reply.

I called the DELL support service twice; I sent them three E-mail messages.
First, I asked for that cable in a friendly way.  Finally I told them I
would never buy another DELL system.

I gave up after they "strongly advised" me to re-install WinXP.  
"That machine has been designed and tested for WinXP, Sir, so that's what
you should run on it..."  
They basically refused to send me that cable. Can you believe it?
Frankly, I could not imagine a company like DELL being that arrogant.

Again, thanks for your reply.

Albert

Additionally, you can tell Dell that the cable comes shipped with the 
CD-ROM drive from the manufacturer, that it should therefore be shipped 
with the system, and that Windows Media Player isn't the only CD player 
out there, and you expect them to ship the cable that should have come 
with the system.
