I had a friend give me an inspiron 1200 notebook that seemed to have a virus because it took forever to boot. I told him I could do a clean install of XP on it and it should fix it. I turned it on just long enough to put the disc in and restarted. Everything went fine until I started doing the updates. I noticed the battery indicator on the tool bar while I had the charger plugged in. The battery now is just about dead. Can someone tell me if I missed something or did this notebook just die on me? I hooked a meter to the plug and its putting out 19 volts. All help would be appreciated.
