This is not Microsoft. This is a public newsgroup providing peer-to-peer
support for the XP operating system. If you want to contact Microsoft
tech support, you should be aware that they will tell you to get
support from your OEM - Dell. Since you didn't tell us what "all
avenues in their power to fix.." actually means, there's no way of
getting a specific answer. Has Dell replaced the cd drive?
