Thanks MM and Wendybeth, you guys ROCK for helping me out!!!
I called Dell today and they are supposedly sending me what I need in 4 business days

WOOT I can finally get my computer up and running again. FINALLY. Of course, I WAS talking to someone in India (probably trained by DustySage) so... we'll see if I get what I need.
If not, wendy you may have a PM soon

Thanks again for the help and advice... when my computer is sick it makes me so irritated!!! lol
Now I gotta rebuild my mp3s. My movies. Yaddayadda
