I have a Dell Optiplex GX1 with Window NT 4.0 with 10 GB HD plus 128mb RAM. I want to upgrade to Maxtor 80 GB Ultra ATA 133 HD and upgrade to Window XP. Will not recognize Window XP and the 80 GB HD. I do not have the original system software. i bought the system used. It is working fine, but I just want to upgrade the hardware and system software. It used to be a office computer. Can you help me?

Thank you,

Mark Zemnick
