Will all other programs and documents be deleted as well? Yes. All programs and documents will be overwritten. You'll need to back up programs and documents then reinstall them after installing XP .

The install goes perfect the problem im having is i can go to any site in the world typing it in manually but i cannot get a connection to windows update, even typed in microsoft.com and i get page cannot display. I took the HDD out of the Dell and placed it in my other pc did the xp install and can do the updates but when i replace the drive back into the Dell it blue screens right away wont even boot, so i tried to put it back in my other pc and the xp installation is now corrupt not even repair worked, my problem is when i install xp pro on the Dell why cant i do the windows update its the only site in the whole world that wont come up using the Dell. And yes i did pick up all rquired drivers for the E521 from Dell. Please help me get my connection to Windows Update, Thank You :) Chuck: It could be that some of the Dell E521 drivers you're using aren't happy with the version of XP Pro you're trying to install. If you can get your hands on a copy of XP Home, I'd try installing that instead with the E521 drivers you have.

It will create a Windows OS install disk that you create by "slipstreaming" programs and drivers you want. This is especially useful if you add in the S-ATA drivers. I just used it to build a Vista/XP dual boot system (for testing purposes before killing Vista entirely. Works like a charm. You can slipstream in Service Pack 3, and save a lot of updating time after installation. You can also remove Windows stuff that you don't want, and even create an unattended Windows installation, so you don't have to click all those dialog boxes.

Tried to put XP on but I am having difficulty. When I boot fromn the CD it starts to dowlnload all the files from XP, then gives me an error message "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage...." Something like that. It doesn't take me to the normal set up screen. Chuck: One of the updates in the original article may resolve this error message. Please review the last few paragraphs of the original article. Hi I have recently bought a new HP Laptop, so of course it came wit Vista.

I have a feeling that the version that I have of XP does not contain the driver, and I am having difficulty locating the driver from Toshiba (computer) or Fujitsu (the hard drive). If I can find the right driver, how do I get it to recognize it at the beginning? Chuck writes: It's possible the blue screen is displayed because you have a SATA hard drive. Please re-read the article and pay special attention to the information about configuring SATA drives from the computer's CMOS.

Then I used XP to wipe Ubuntu. Then I used Ubuntu to install to half the disk for a dual operating system. Next I used Ubuntu to download XP drivers, transferred them to Windows. Okay, all is good except the graphics. Anyone know of a driver that will work with XP on this type of machine? I've had zero luck finding one. Many thanks.
