Hi,
For 4 weeks now I have been fighting vista trying to get it to so what its told, but its just getting worse by the day. I need an OS which is stable which does what it is told with no funny business. I need to remove this over-bloated OS and replace with nice simple XP. There is an urgency here too because my 28 day period in which i can exchange the laptop runs out this weekend!
This is where Im at, I followed... topic,26,-Installation-of-Windows-XP-Home-Pro-PE-FAQs.html
using the usb floppy method to install the latest drivers iata76_enu.exe
I was able to extract the files, boot to XP CD, press F6. Then I was given a list of 4 controllers. I tried each one in turn and each had the same result... The setup does not see the hard drive.
Please help, I've been at this for 3 days now tna and have run out of ideas.
Thanks,
Julian K
