Laptops & Notebooks - December 2006

I would like to upgrade my system to Win2000 and possibly further, but wish to do so gradually. Where might I find the best buy since it may not be that easy to find in stores? If online, what website would I use to purchase the software? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I searched, but most of the questions\answers were from a few months ago. Looking for a gaming laptop up to $1,500. Would rather be closer to $1,000. Any suggestions, or tips on what to look for? Such as, graphic card wise. Thanks for any help.

I wiped out my Hard Drive using Active@ KILLDISK now it says no Operating System found. I wanted to load a clean copy of Windows XP, but the PC does not seem to read the XP disc even though I have the PC booting to the cd-rom first. I keep getting the message that no operating system found. How do I load XP ? Please note I have the full XP disc not the upgrade disc.

I have a Toshiba A65-126 that is about 2 yrs old. THis was before the "wide screens" came out. I notice these machines have a sharper/ finer graphics resolution, but not a really larger screen than mine.I have checked with Toshiba without results. Do these wide screens just have a different graphics card or driver; which would mean I cant really change mine; or what? Is there another answer for the machine or am I stuck with what I've got?

We've always used PC'S so this is a new territory for us. The manual doesn't seem to help in this situation. Anyone out there have one who could give us some advice? We have a wireless network in our house to connect to internet with a desktop and a laptop already. Is that even going to work with this Apple technology?

How do I determine whether the Dell XPS series or the Inspiron is the best choice for me? I will basically be using the notebook for an on-line class and displaying movie, music media. I currently have a Dell desktop; would you recommend another brand for my purposes.

I have a Dell L400 laptop. I successfully partioned an E drive that had Windows XP and a C drive that had Windows 2000 Pro. I then tried to merge the drives with Norton's Partition Magick (please note I am an idiot and did not make an emergency diskette as suggested by Norton) since I no longer needed or wanted Windows 2000 Pro. When I re-booted there were 2 Operating systems to choose from (both said Windows default), but when you selected either of them you got error messages. One message was a hal.dll error and the other was a boot partion error.

I tried to boot from the CD-Rom drive with a Windows XP disc in the CD-Rom drive. It said to press any key to continue, but nothing happens. At this time I do not care if I lost everything that was previously on my hard drive, I just want to be able to use the lap top with Windows XP. Please note I have the full Windows XP CD-Rom (not the upgrade version).

Thanks in advance !
