Okay, I confess I am way over my head. We actually got the computer in January of 2000 and because I wanted it to be "current" as long as possible had Dell put in the DVD drive and CDR but they were both fairly new at that point. I actually find two IDE's listed but I have no clue what they mean. Being a wise woman (scroll to picture three between Kendall and ColK.) I know when I am over my head. All of my set up disks are CD rom which drive is,of course, not to be found.

I will call my neighborhood computer repair guy and see if we can fix this one up enough for the kids to use and start planning Christmas presents for the grownups.


Love Ya all,

Tinker

Thanks guys.
