I have a Dell Optiplex GX 110 that had Win98se on the hard drinve. The drive went bad and I purchased a new drive on Ebay out of a Dell Dimension that has never been booted, it has win xp home allready installed from Dell. HD is dated 02-2006 My question is, How do i get my pc to boot with this new drive, I would like to retain the Win XP if possible. It is a legal hd , the guy is parting out these brand new Dell's, Thanks, Bill [log in to unmask] _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
