HI my wife owns a Dell inspron 1300 it is quite a few years old but still works expect the hard drive went T*TS up I will have no trouble getting new hard drive for it. But the downside is we have lost the OS which was XP What I want to do is get a replacement hard drive and getting it to work again and give it to my handicapped/ Autistic Spectrum Son to use but the big downside is i have lost the original XP discs and the old hard drive we broke it up. I have looked on e bay to see if I can get a full XP disc but they are quite expensive. But what i do have is Windows 7 64bit &32 bit now i use the 64 bit but have the 32 one spare could i use this on the dell or is that windows 7 to powerful for the old Dell
