there is about 70gb's of stuff, is there a cable to cable method that would work?

Surely, you can network both computers and transfer data that way.

okay so dell wants 20 bucks for the xp disc. also, if my pc can't see my hard drive, will I still be able to repair using the disc?

Since it's going to be recovery CD, you should be OK.

I asked for a copy of my operating systems discs, would that be the same thing?

so my disk came from dell, I still have cd drive as first to boot and it was able to read CD. However, once I got into the blue menu for reinstall or recover, both options said it could not detect a hard drive. Any thoughts?

i was unable to locate the BIOS menu. When I hit F2 the menu of choice had options for boot sequence but nothing for BIOS.

Just reset them. I had to re-adjust boot sequence and it's now reading the cd dell provided, but it still can't seem to find the hd when I hit enter or the R button from the setup screen
