Id get a cheap generic one- unless you have an express charge. Express charge needs a special (more powerful) power adapter.

Yea its a refub- I guess I should have stated that with the dell outlet part. I really dont think its that big of a deal though. Y Alimoalem- yea I heard a lot about the dim screen, however I think I might get lucky on it; if worst comes to worst I can return it. Fbrdphreak- Sorry dell...

Dell usually doenst offer discounts on their XPS systems (I dont know why). So if youre waiting for a good deal it might be a while.

It did show up as 160GB when I first installed it. But after that partition magic and windows would only detect it as 32GB. There is no unallocated space on that hard drive that is visible. I have SP2 in windows XP and it still isnt showing the hard drive fully. Al

Sorry I though I subscribed to this thread but I guess I didnt. The hard drive is a western digital 8MB cache 160GB.

Nope its listed as NTFS.

My motherboard is an asus a7n8x-e deluxe with a bios from april of this year. The hard drive is brand new and there are no jumper settings besides for slave and master. However my western digital 120 GB is partitioned to 30GB and 80GB and windows detect them fine. Al

I have the same probs. I have a WD 160GB hard drive but it only shows 32GB in windows. I just installed service pack II and its not wokring. Does anyone know what it could be? Should I try installing SP1?

Any reason why windows would automatically restart without giving me an error? I disabled the 'Automatic Restart' in startup and recovery but it didnt change the problem. Al

Up for help. I got another processor and still the same errors. GRRRrrrrr. Any reason for windows to automatically restart?

Yea, they are almost affordable now.
