I am trying to run Debian GNU/Linux but am receiving errors relating to APIC. The OS installs fine and the installation CD apparently actually uses the same kernal as the full OS, but the actual OS won't boot once installed. I have tried disabling APIC and LAPIC in the ...

I have a Dell Dimension desktop with a 80GB hard drive. (that I bought in 2005). The hard drive died. Fortunately I had all my data backed up. So I am planning to buy a 250GB hard drive. I heard 2 stories.
