find her original XP Home Edition cd. Can she get a copy from Microsoft or can I use my wife's laptop disc to fault find or even repair her installation? |

Hi George, Can you explain further what stage the Laptop reach and stop or prevent you from reaching the Log on Screen? It could be the HDD gone or a memory gone bad. My Advice, if you are not into tech try to take the Laptop to your Local Repair shop to fix it for you. BTW what your Sister's Laptop Model and your wife's Laptop Model?
