Subject: Re: Corrupted OS by JrRifleCoach on 2008/7/2 15:50:37 I forgot, is this an HP laptop? My last attempt with an HP ended with being unable to load XP, unable to load Vista Premium from CD, and unable to load Vista from the HP restore CD using two new hard drives! After calling HP they concluded that they would have to reload using a factory image. Won't sell it to me but I have to ship back the whole LT! I have been successful with downgrading most Vista LT's except for HP's. Seems they have developed chipsets that do not have drivers for XP. For this reason I am turning away customers requesting XP downgrades with HP's. Unless you can write drivers, I suggest that you write off that LT and pickup a good used Dell and move on. I can help you with your decision. BTW be advised that XP SP3 has issues with some driver sets as well. I have only installed SP3 on one workstation and the ensuing problems inspired me to remove the SP. GL |
