David,   You are correct, there is no DSS for you system. The chipset drivers need to be installed first. Try to remove anything you added, like RAM and keep the system as close to original as possible.   Try downloading EVEREST Home Edition click on computer, summary. Anything that is blue, left click on it, then left click on driver download.   You can also try using Slim Drivers and see if that helps with the drivers.     Rick
Windows XP - SP3 - All high priority MS Updates installed Dimension 4300 750Mb memory 160Gb hard disk I decided to do a clean  re-install of XP as I was having a few issues (couldn't get MS Update to work amongst others), plus I think it was time for a refresh. Prior to the installation I had 2 partitions: Main one being 130Gb (I believe this is the max size you can have with a 4300), and a secondary one about 30Gb When I did the XP re-install, I first of all deleted the main partition, but it wouldn't let me create a new main one until I had deleted the secondary one, as it said this was unrecognised or corrupt (I've not had any issues with it). So I had to delete the secondary partition. The install went OK, I installed all applications and restored my data. Should I have approached the new XP install differently, e.g. the order I did things, in order to retain my secondary partition? All help appreciated. Regards, David
