I have an old Vostro 1400 that would get VERY hot. I took the heatsink out and cleaned it and now it’s working great. However, Diagnostics gives me an error code 2000-0146, which, from what I’ve read, is a problem with the Hard drive. (It ran hot for a long time)
I want to replace the hard drive and install Windows XP SP2. (It is Vista right now, but I don’t have the install CD for Vista)
I’ve got the XP install CD, drivers CD, Media Direct CD, and the Cyberlink CD.
Will that get me up and running? Any additional advice is also greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Robert
