Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On left side click on Disk Management
On right side you will see you hard drive.
Now I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.
To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop
Attach it to your next reply

Download and install Free Everest Home Edition
Open it.
1: In left pane expand Computer folder.
2: Click once on Summary
3: In upper menu, go Report
4: And then to Quick Report-Summary
5: Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
Click the + by computer, click on Sensor. Get a screenshot and post it so I can check your temps and voltages...
DO NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING UNDER THE LINE THAT SAYS "DEBUG- PCI"

Disk Drive ST340014A (40 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100)
This is the product number I ran through Seagate
ST340014A
This is what they say your drive is:
Barracuda 7200.7 : ST340014A
Barracuda 7200.7
Capacity: 40.0 GB
Speed: 7200 rpm
Average Read Time: 8.5 ms
Cylinders: 1023
Heads: 256
Sectors: 63
The link for the information i show above and located on Seagates website is located HERE
You have a 40 gig drive and that is why you don't see 80 gigs in drive space.

I highly doubt Dell will help out at all.I have been having this problem for years
Instead of replacing the drive why not just add a second drive?
Is this your system HERE?
You are going to be limited to how large of a hd you can put in but i think you should be able to put a drive about 100 to 160 gigs in your system.

160 gig hard drives are running about 50.USD here at TigerDirect
You could possibly find the memory at the same place and save on the shipping.
Let me know what you think and I may be able to get the info on the memory for you also.

Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Adviser and download it. Once installed run it and it will tell you what hardware and software if any will not be compatible with Windows 7
