 If my new laptop didn't have a 2.5" hard drive and what I think is a special Dell connector, I would put it on the laptop on a spare hard drive just for shyts and giggles.

Take a closer look, it might be SATA.  The cable, if it has one might combine the power and data cables into a big connector.  It's okay, the connectors are now all the same for 2.5", 3.5" and 5.25" drives.

I wish it were a standard SATA connection.  I see those daily.  No, this one has some kind of ribbon connection.  I'll post a picture up if I get around to it.

Well, downloaded and installed it doing the good old "upgrade test/ route". Haven't played all that much with it on an Athlon 3700, 2 gigs ram, but I can't get into the control panel yet. The shortcuts do nothing (either on desktop or start menu). Runs a bit faster then Vista though. I still have not found a way to disable my touchpad in Vista or W7.
Touchpads are the most vile, evil, and demonic inventions on laptops for people with big hands and fat fingers. I might just have to rip apart this $7000 laptop and disable the fricken thing forever manually.
