personally you would have been better off with XP home
if the computer was only a month old the XP would have really been the way to go
im not sure why your gettin a SCSI device and aUSB device.
have you tried windows update?
I have tried all the windows updates that i could find....i wish i did stay w/winxp

as long as you have your restore disk, or the restore hd if its there and still intact you should be able to restore your computer
heres the good part...the comp came w/ no back up discs they expect you to make your own....does anything in the above posts make sense to anyone. i just want to get everything working. i have tried to do a search for the space dvd thing and come back w/nothing
anyone hve any other ideas? this is driving me nuts!!!!!!!!
