It is a new computer...running windows 7 home edition. I just turned it on and ran initial setup...and when I came to the desktop page..I tried to connect to the internet...when i could not..went to the network and sharing center. Here it shows me unidentified network... WHAT TO DO???
If it is not showing a connection check to make sure that your modem is working properly, try resetting the modem plus it your internet service provider gave you a disc please run it so that it can download the proper drivers for your modem so that it can connect to the internet.

nope, have one here that I put a Terabyte drive in and it is working great.
SOURCE: adding Dell Dimension 4600 to existing wireless network?...
Go to Staples and purchase a Linksys USB wireless-G (only G needed - the new "N" protocol is overkill) adapter (~$60.00). Insert the Linksys CD and follow the instructions. When prompted, plug the USB adapter into the Dell (frt or back) doesn't matter. If his "roomies" have security enabled on their router, you'll need to know the level, password/passphrase, and the network name that they assigned.
Good luck.

Try logging into the router with your desktop hard-wired and find the 25-digit passcode and use that to log on to the wireless network with the laptop. If not, then check if connection is good by hard-wiring the router to the laptop. Let me know what happens or if you have solved the problem.

SOURCE: dell computer running windows xp will not boot. NTLDR compressed
best thing to do if you can get one is a propper install disk and then follow these instructions..
1. Start the Recovery Console. If you do not have the Recovery Console installed, start it from the Windows Xp compact disc (CD). To do this, follow these steps:
a. Insert the Windows XP CD and restart the computer. If prompted, select any options required to boot from the CD.
b. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the repair or recover option by pressing R.
c. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access from the recovery console.
d. When prompted, type the Administrator password.
2. At the command prompt, type "cd \" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
3. Type "ren ntldr ntldr.old" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
4. Type "map" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
5. Note the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD. It is displayed in a format similar to the following: D: \Device\CdRom0
6. Type "expand <drive>\i386\ntldr._" (without the quotation marks) (where <drive> is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD), and then press ENTER. For example:
Expand d:\i386\ntldr._ <ENTER>
Note the underscore character after the "."
The following message appears: ntldr, 1 file(s) expanded.
7. Type "exit" (without the quotation marks). The computer restarts.
8. Remove the Windows XP CD and start the computer normally.
