Finally, My New PC is built

You can use a bootdisk for WindowsXP, but you need to download is from microsoft.com; do a download search for "Windows XP Bootdisk". The only catch is that it uses 6 disks.

I also don't think Windows lets you boot a preinstalled OS from a different system, you get a Windows Protection Error if you try.

Yeah, it has boot disks, but what I meant is that you can't do it from your actual OS like with the previous and format the disk, you need to DL it. If the HD thing don't work, I'll go buy some disks.

i told you!
Mine needed 6 disks, all floppy, i tried to boot from the cd but my comp was like "I havin' that biatch!" and i was like "Shit, yo! Eat floppy you mofo!" so i puts in the disks and all was well.... hahahaah
So I have a question.. when I installed my CD-Rom (Lite on)
I can't get the little ear phone jack to work.. my speakers from the back work fine, but the CD-Rom doesn't want to play anything from the front..What should I do?

However, Dell's wiring sucks, and they do not offer AMD chips last I checked.

True, but I was just talking about cost.
