Did you use the Resource disk to install the drivers?
Take a look in Control Panel for any yellow entries.

  (I used a Dell OEM XP Pro CD), and it never ran right after that.  It
is the slowest running installation of XP

  I have ever seen.  It boots, but slower than molasses in January.
When I bought the computer it had Win Me on it.

  The 8200 is now sitting in a closet gathering dust because no one
could stand using it.

  We timed the boot at nearly 15 minutes, and there wasn't that much
software on the machine.

  These proprietary machines must have some built-in self destruct
mechanism if you remove their special partition.
