    I have a Dell Inspiron 8600
    intel centrino 1,5 Ghz/600Mhz
    ATI Radeon 9600
    1024 MB internal mem 2x 512 ddr sdram
    intel AC97 soundcard
    Win XP pro

    I only got the laptop two days ago and haven't figured out what kind of
    hardware i have. The bios setup gives very little information and the dell
    manuals aren't very helpful either.

    I tried it in a docking station with an attached monitor, and then i get
    passed the welcome screen so I can boot into safe mode, halfway the boot, it
    gives the following error:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    \windows\system32\config\system
    Attempt recovery by starting windows setup from the original cd-rom.

    I tried to use the recovery console, but was unable to do something (didn't
    know what to do at the prompt). I did not have this problem before installing
    SP2.

    Also, when i take the laptop out of the docking station, i get the black
    screen with the flickering lines again.

    Getting quite hopeless...
