Is it because people after certain time resell them and get a new Dell, or because dell has a lease with big companies, hospitals government offices etc.
And all this companies get new computers from Dell and sell the old ones to some dealers

I've purchased a Verto Geforce FX 5200 graphics card to upgrade from the default card that the Dimension 2400 came with. It came with an Intel Extreme graphic already installed on the motherboard. I'm wondering how to uninstall this one so that I can install the Verto.

I have a dell dimension 3000 and when i turn on my computer it says "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\system32/ntolkrnl.exe. please re-install a copy of the above file.

okay
i have the dell reinstallation cd--now what?

this is how it happened:

i was shutting down my computer and it automatically updated windows for me but it took too long so i just [[out of pure anger]] shut it off manually [[BUT IT WOULDN'T DIE!!]] and now--when i turn it back on--it has the Dell main screen which says its loading for 2 seconds--then it goes to the black screen with the missing file message.

now because i wanted my computer to die..
it is dead.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

My comp says i have like 100mb left on my C drive when in reality that's not true, i have more like 30 gb free. Also when I went on disc defrag it showed literally 99% of my files in red(meaning their fragmented). So i guess I know the problem, i just don't know the solution. Virus and adware problems didn't help.

Trying to recover some files that disappeared after playing with partitions.

The laptop hard drive seems to have a lot of bad sectors however and is probably damaged. (Problems copying files, slow, etc.)

Should I try to to do data recovery first or try to fix the damaged drive. Will fixing the bad sectors affect the data recovery software?
