    TEST YOUR RAM AND HDD
    If it's less than a year old it's
    still under warranty
    CALL DELL and they'll replace the bad part.

    I feel like a record (remember records? Big black cd's?)

    memtest (if its got bad hardwired RAM, you're fucked)
    then chkdsk c: /p /r from recovery console...
    that should mark your bad sectors. if you hard drive shows up with anything more than a gig less than you had before, get a new one. I replace laptop HD's all the time. It can be difficult but dell usually puts them in the front or under the keyboard...

    i just gave up called dell and told them to replace everything so its shipping out tomorrow. guess i wont be around for a while but hopefully whatever it was, either hd or ram or so on they will work it out. atleast it saves me buying a new computer.
