press windows key + R Type:- diskmgmt.msc & press enter
In the new screen select your XP drive eg:- C:\ at the top select action & select Format. (Formating the drive will over write all your XP installation)
The dell dimension takes a standard DVD drive, CDRW or DVD writer. Simply go to your local superstore and buy one thats on sale. Buy one that goes internal not external. For example a place like Best Buy has several.
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB Hard Drive goes for about 180 bucks and it a IDE PATA Drive I do belive since your dimensions 2300 motherboard 3T237 is only IDE and does not have SATA
your motherboard can also handle 1 gig of ram so if you havent maxed out your motherboard yet I would highly suggest it. Ram for it wont cost you much either.
I would add the newer drive as a secoundary drive since I am sure that your operating system is pre loaded.
or you can also add external drives to your system as well for more storage as well and they are starting to come down in price as well. you have options it all depends what ya wanna do with it.
