My laptop (toshiba; sattellite) is hardly even fxning. It
takes an outrageous amount of time, 30 min. sometimes,
just to boot the damn thing, Compared to the 5 second
response it used to be (under win. Me). Anyway these two
devices are the only nonfunctioning or disabled devices.
If it didn't take all week I'd have used it right now.What
do i do?!
After I'd initially installed xp on my laptop, I'd gotten
a heap of components that, when assembled and configuered,
will make the laptop seem... well, not worth having xp on
it. I've tried to simply move the laptop hard drive over
to the new system using an adaptor but the windows anti-
pirating software seems to be preventing it from leaving
its original installed envirionment. Which means that any
time I decide to upgrade or replace a key hardware
component XP code will prevent it, doesn't it? The laptop
barely meets the min. requirements for running windows xp
(266MHz processor, 3.85Gb mem, 64Mb ram). I'd planned on
using the mem with another drive (same mfg, fujitsu) that
has 8.85Gb, but I can't seem to make one work without the
other and I can't get them to go withouot the drivers they
need that i can't use as soon as xp finds itself in a
different envirionment.
Sorry for the length of the message. :}
