Will KingSpec KSD-PA25.6-128MS work with "Windows XP" ? On Dell "Inspiron 8200" ? Does BIOS need upgrade ?

I installed this drive on an old Sony Vaio laptop Celeron class, running WinXP. I did nothing but pull the old cranky drive out and put this one in. That was easy. Put a ghost image from years ago on it, and that was messy. The drive seemed to want to be reformatted, even though it checked out as formatted. I got another drive, different brand, for another machine and it acted the same way. So just always format it. Once the drive was reformatted it took the ghost image without incident. Since then the drive has worked almost flawlessly. Once it did seem to forget who it was and gave the "no operating system found" error. I re-imaged it from the ghost image and it has not failed since. With all of the issues that it seems to have had, I think the laptop is probably more the culprit than the drive. Its possible the original "cranky" drive was not as bad as I thought and maybe the laptop is just falling apart. With all of that known, would I buy the drive again. The answer is yes, since I already have. The drive sure is better than a 7yr old 4200, that has been bounced around for all of those 7 years.

Before installing the E8600, I checked my BIOS version (1.0.3) and found a newer version available. I installed the E8600 and updated the BIOS version to 1.0.4 -- Now I'm rockin' in the free world with a Windows Performance Index of 6.6 on a 2006 DELL Vostro 230MT. In short, you don't HAVE TO update your BIOS, but the Smart Bird would do it NOW !!

I made a very quick search and i was not able to find the xp driver, the card uses AC so i dont think XP is going to be able to support it.If you are also looking to replace your computer, check the HP Envy family

The latest drivers on their website are rated for XP, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has tried them yet.

Processor Speed: 1.70 GHz, 2MB L3 Cache.I think I fixed the problem without Gateway/Acers tech support. It was the USB driver causing BSOD

What do they mean by updating BIOS. Is this the kind of setup you spend long frustrating hours on? Should I opt for a different brand/model (suggestions?)?

If your Dell Motherboard supports 400Mhz memory you are ok. Check you pc max of memory for you model see in dell.com 400 and 333 Mhz are compatible.it will work a little faster than the units you replaced.

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.

There wasn't an option on this particular [Dell D620/D630] Notebook for 800MHz. The only options were 533MHz or 667MHz so I took the 667MHz. Not sure what the specs on this particular memory is but I went with the 667MHz version and it works fine. I hope that helps!!!

yep.. XP PRO will work perfectly, but I'd recommend upgrading your ram to 2gigs anyways. Vista will work too but will be slow (people install it for testing purposes). And of course, make sure you have all drivers ready after installing new OS. check msiwind.net for other help
