Capone, welcome to the Seven Forums.

Might have something to do with the fact that those SupremeFX "sound cards" aren't actually sound cards at all. All they are is a riser card that contains the audio chip and speaker jacks (usually made by ADI) instead of it being mounted somewhere on the motherboard. They also only work with the motherboards that they came with.

Looking at the available downloads for that model Dell,

Drivers & Downloads

it either came with a X-Fi (Xtreme Audio or Titanium), or has Realtek onboard.

Right-click Click Computer and then Manage, select (Storage) -> Disk Management and look for the 80GB drive. It probably needs to be initialized and formatted.

Good chance it is gone bad then. Can't diagnose stuff I can't see.
