Joe, if you are so inclined. there are web stores which can sell you a
replacement hard drive for your laptop which is a major multiple in size from
what you have. A local tech would have to install and format it for you.
If you do purchase a new drive over the web, be sure to buy an OEM version of a
newer operating system (like windowsXPhome)at the same time because when you buy
 new hardware you can get the operating system at the OEM price, which is much
lower than the store price because it is meant for new machines.
I'ts a funny thing, Joe, but buying a laaptop hard drive and a new operating
system together is probably cheaper than just buying a new operating system.

I must say, though that I do not know enough about your old dell laptop to say
if this is worth your time and money. Someone else has got to fill you in from
here. -Marc
