Hello,

I just installed an XP Home Edition (original CD) on a new 160GB hard drive in my Dell Dimension 1100/110B. (Alureon.e partially damaged my previous Windows installation)
XP is indeed 32-bit (checked in Dxdiag) but does not recognize the onboard Ethernet card and also seems not to see the onboard video card since it only gives me the option for 16-bit display; the same goes for sound (the device manager shows ? for all three). However, if I put back the old 80GB hard drive, they all work fine.

Any suggestions?

Thank you ;-)

Hello

You need to install the drivers.

Ok thanks but without an Ethernet card, I don't have internet access to download the drivers from Dell.com. And I don't have a Dell CD that comes with the Windows CD...
So what can I do?
Thanks
D.
