You did it wrong. Just go ahead and take the Applications disc and break it in half and toss that fucker in the trash, it's that good. The Vista OS dvd does not load any non-Windows applications. During install, delete the old OS partition, select the empty space and let it install there. Then load up your drivers disc. Voila! Smoking fast laptop that you thought was passed it's prime.

I just picked up a Dell 11z dual-core intel netbook with 2GB of memory, from the Dell outlet. Using the 15% off coupon code that they re-run, I scored it for $328 shipped. The 11z's are pretty sick little mini-laptops. However, the built-in webcam blows, so you would want to plug in a better video camera for webcam streams.

They spend hours on the phone with you, send parts that don't fix it and it is down for weeks at a time.
Meantime my other laptop (NOT A DELL) keeps on chugging along.
And yes I have the top of the line Dell laptop, cost mega bucks and sucks . . .
All the Flak you want at me, but NEVER NEVER EVER Buy a Dell in my opinion ! ! !

The worst thing about Dell's are the special fans and heatsinks they use in their desktops. You are NOT upgrading the CPU heatsink. I mean, the desktops are good and all, but it sucks that even their case fans are some retarded design that you have to get replaced from Dell at a premium price. First time I ever saw some one get a fucking used case fan.
