Why would you want to do this?
Broadcasting the signal is handled by the hardware in the access point, and I don't see how a computer can do this. There are many things I don't know, but this sounds very strange to me.

It's obviously not empty. Dell is trying to keep you out of there by hiding the files. Don't mess with it.
You should see an option at boot to change boot options(F2 or F12, usually) select it, then boot to the recovery partition and follow the prompts.

So this problem is solved?
The F6 trick is required to use SATA drives on most older boards.

Is that a SATA drive?
You need to "Press F6" during the install to install the SATA drivers.

Can you mount any CD or DVD?
You may have a bad disk.

Do you get an error message?
This problem is typical of some Spyware infections.
Try Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware:

Sounds like a DNS issue:
ipconfig /flushdns
To copy a cmd Window:
Rt-click top of the window/Select All/Enter to copy/Ctrl-V to paste.

This driver works fine on my Dell Netbook.
I don't see a wireless Network icon in your image, so you need to set up a wireless network.

Now we need ipconfig.

Post the results here.
Is this DSl or cable?

How are you going about this install?
What exactly, is "it", and what does "it" say?
What do you see in Device Manager under Video Adapter?

What are your system specs?

Or, just download and install Ubuntu which will do everything you want.

I have had good luck in these situations by removing the cartridges and briefly dipping them in water. Have a paper towel handy to wipe them off.
Otherwise, try the Cleaning/Deep Cleaning option available in the printer options.
Be sure to print something at least once a week to keep the cartridges wet.

It looks like there are two possibilities-ATI or Intel.
Go here, enter your service tag to see which is correct and download the driver.

You shouldn't need to enter anything at all to get this router working.
Reset to defaults.
Connect to modem and computer.
Start surfing.
Your default Gateway should be 192.168.1.1

It looks to me as though the two devices are using identical IP addresses, which is a no-no. (192.168.1.1 is the same as 192.168.1.100)
Change the default address of the router.

my hard drive is perfectly connected is there any way i can get help i don't wanna pay new HD there is an error i need it to be fixed i need help
the error code is 1000-0141

Have you looked in the BIOS?

I think F2 is the BIOS (Setup) option. Take a look there first for the drive.
If the drive works in another machine and not yours, you have a serious hardware problem. Make sure the HD is properly connected.

You should be able to select any available channel through the router set up page. 1, 6, 11 are standard.
Check for a router firmware update.

Once the boot order is OK, just delete the Windows (2000?) files.

It's long-winded, but it will get the job done.
Networking really sucks in Vista, but persevere and you'll succeed.

I don't see how resetting the BIOS would help, but it would be a good idea to look in the BIOS to see if the drive is recognized.
If it's not listed, it may have failed. Can you hear any sounds from the drive?

Any modern card should do.

I am pretty sure the warranty is out of date

Just check with Dell. My warranty was three years.

What addresses?

Overheating or power supply.
Check the diagnostic light or get your PS checked.

Your remark about "annoying people" seems particularly inappropriate. Try re-phrasing it to avoid annoying people. :)

What necrolin said.
Delete all the partitions before installing.

When my Samsung did this I eventually had to replace it. They said monitor power supply or backlight. Check to see if the warranty is still good.

In Device Manager, rt-click the Adapter, select "Uninstall" then reboot.
If the adapter is found on restart, it's properly installed.
It sounds as though you also have a Dell Utility installed to manage the wireless adapter. Look for something like "Dell wireless utility" on the program menu and open it.
I installed Ubuntu Netbook remix from a flash drive on my netbook and have never looked back.

Maybe an hallucination?
Prayer?
Maybe you're right about the odd days.

There are detailed instructions on the Linksys site. Look up "Using two routers" or something similar.

The DSL Modem/Router is conflicting with the Linksys.
Typically, you have to disable DHCP on the Lnksys and assign it a fixed IP address.

If it has an operating system it has a partition.
Do you want more partitions? Why?

We need a better description of your setup.
It should be:
Modem to router(Wan port)
Router (Ports 1, 2, etc) to each individual PC.

What you did was reboot, which is often all it takes to eliminate a rogue process or program that's fouling up the works.
It's also well known that Windows PCs work better on even-numbered days. :)

Sparkax and I are telling you the same thing, but Chaky isn't paying attention, so ignore him.

ipconfig?

What is the error message? Just the words, as the numbers don't often help.

Wired or wireless?
Post ipconfig from the laptop.

This fix often helps:

Pay attention to kaninelupus. I've seen this several times recently.

Doesn't look good. If you're sure you can't see it in Disk Management, it's probably toast.

In all cases I've seen, an external drive must be set to master. This setting is usually clearly marked on the drive, so don't guess.
Once you've got the jumper set correctly, look at this drive in Disk Management to get an accurate idea of what's up.

In general, Macs have better hardware, look better, and are (currently) not subject to the plethora of Spyware and Viruses that plague Windows PCs. This is a big deal.
Windows PCs tend to be cheaper (Although you can find plenty of high-end machines) and there is a great deal more software available.
If you're an unsophisticated, email using web surfer, get a Mac and you'll enjoy years of virus free computing.
If you want to use powerful web design, image manipulation, CAD, gaming software, get a PC.
As far as the interface goes, that's just matter of spending time with it. I don't see anything inherently "better" about either.

Start/Run/cmd
Enter ipconfig in the command window

Press and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds.

Password for what?

Wired or wireless?
Reboot your modem/router.
Post ipconfig.

Have you tried typing "CLS"?
