Hi, My Brother gave me a dell dimension 2400 with linux on it. I want to install xp. I have a xp recovery disk that came with my Gateway computer. Is there any reason why it shouldn't work on this dell computer? I tried booting from the cd drive and the screen says, "checking hardware configuration...." or something like that (message is only there briefly) and then nothing happens. That same disks seems to work fine on my gateway when I tried it. I'm wondering if its not working because the xp disk is not from Dell. Thanks Brian
