Cannot Reformat
« on: September 30, 2010, 08:19:40 PM »
My old laptop HP ZE 4240 starting & running super slow. Unable to install or uninstall program due to missing patches. Tried reloading OS on laptop, but error reads my present version newer than one I wanted to load.
What to do?
Help ! Thanks !
Regards

It looks like you're trying to reinstall Windows from within Windows.
It won't work.
You have to boot from Windows CD/DVD
