I know two other potential linux users who were put off by this problem. The people I know both had Dells and were reluctant to uninstall the Dell Datasafe software because we were all worried about losing the ability to reinstall windows 7 later. (These users need windows, and are not willing to erase their entire hard drive and replace the OS with linux.) There is some confusion about whether one must have the datasafe software to reinstall windows on a Dell. I confess, we were all ignorant and also too lazy to google around for the answer and we gave up. (I realize this is an ubuntu forum and not a dell forum.) In any case, there is no question that this problem is a hurdle for new potential linux users.
