Hello,
The hard drive in my Dell Dimension 5150C has failed and I am rplacing it with a Seagate OEM 500gb Barracuda 7200. Can I just insert the new drive and then run a Windows7 installation CD?
Dells can sometimes have some quirks. I've seen some Dells with an OS install mode, that needs to be enabled.
You have? I've never seen that myself unless you're talking about Dells well before I started working with them (3 and a half years ago). I'm interested where you've seen this and this is in no way me criticising you... It's just my curiosity kicking in!
