| 430826 | 2006-02-16 05:18:00 | Well if u have the full version of XP, just go into the BIOS, change the bootdisk to cd, chuck the cd in, save the BIOS settings and reboot. And then it'll take u to the XP setup screen. Then partition / format / install XP. And wait for it to finish. |

| 430830 | 2006-02-17 00:11:00 | How would I do that, thanks for the help. I will upload an everest report as soon as possible. Cheers! :D Find out what brand/model the mobo is, for this PC you want to upgrade. Go to the mobo site and download the sound/lan/and maybe mobo drivers, if u havent got the motherboard cd. And also the modem drivers, (from the site, whatever brand/model the modem is), if this PC has a modem. XP may not install the drivers for it. XP will load most drivers, except the lan/network, soundcard, modem, and the inf mobo drivers for the motherboard. |
