You're wasting your time anyway as Windows 7 is not supported on the 4600. Dell has no Windows 7 drivers for it, nor Vista drivers.

Only Windows XP or Windows 2000 drivers are available.

Go into the BIOS and see if the hard drive is seen there. If it is, make sure it's also in the boot order. Is it making any odd sounds?

Aside from that issue, as in the post above, running Win 7 on an old system with no drivers can cause issues, most often video and audio won't work properly.
