Anyone Had This Problem When Installing Windows Xp On A New Hard Drive?

I got myself a 160GB hard drive to replace my 20GB one for my Dell Latitude C840 laptop. When I start the XP installation, I ran into this pop-up.http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/CBa…
It says:
“An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing.
Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information.
Press OK to view the Setup log files”
So I clicked OK and got this pop-up:http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/CBa…
which says:
“Error:

Notebook Hard Drive Dilema?

Hi, I’m thinking about ordering a notebook this week so that I can use it in college. I have a pretty good idea of what type of hardware I will be getting. However, I can’t decide on the hard drive. I really want to get a 7200rpm hard drive since those are faster (and allow video editing programs to run a lot faster). However, a lot of manufacturers don’t allow you to get 7200rpm hard drives. My options are HP, Dell, and IBM. Dell is the only one that allows you to get a 7200rpm hard drive in a 15.4 inch laptop. However, those are extremely overpriced. I check hp’s site, but they only allow you to get a 7200rpm hard drive with their bulky 17 inch laptops. What is my best option?

Can I Put My 2005 Dell Inspiron Hard Drive Into My 2008 Dell Inspiron 1720 ? (for Extra Memory?)?

If not, where are cheap laptop hard drives compatible with Dell Inspiron 1720?

I Have A Hard Drive Problem With A Dell Inspiron 1525?

Ok, so on 17 Aug 08 I purchased this laptop from Future Shop in Halifax. Yesterday [Sunday] it failed to detect the hard drive and during a test I got error code 2000-0141. Should I deal with Dell tech support or take to the Future shop where I purchased it (note: I live about 200km away from that FS).

Why Doesn’t My Blu-ray Drive Play This Disc?

I watch Blu-Ray movies on my Dell Studio 17 laptop using Dell MediaDirect. I bought TRANSFORMERS on Blu-Ray (the two-disc edition) and I can play the fist disc without any problems. However, while trying to play the second disc, I get the error message “Unable to detect a DVD or DVD device on your computer”.
I think it is unlikely that my drive has a problem because I can play other Blu-Ray movies on it.
Kindly assist!

Dvd Upconvert In A Laptop Blu-ray Drive?

I have just ordered a Dell Studio 17 laptop with a Blu-ray disc drive and an HD screen. I was just wondering if I played a regular DVD, the picture will be upconverted to 1080p. I know that the Sony Blu-ray player hooked up to my TV upconverts, but does the Blu-ray player in a computer do it too?
