Re: [hard drive] I have a new 160GB HDD coming.

I'll be interested to see the results.

For the OP, what is the install disk of Windows for the project - pre XP SP1 or an SP3 install disk?

I wonder still if there is a limited bios of DELL on this laptop that is affecting the end result. DELL support only lists 20, 40, 60 and 80gb hard drives in the IDE/EIDE driver package. Hence my earlier comment on DELL OEM bios, the motherboard is fine, the bios firmware is not.
