i don't know about all that but i do know it has 320 mb of ram so it is going to be slow. i also noticed today a few problems. one thing that has me concerned is that while i was installing it told me twice that my boot sector had changed and that i may have a virus. i also noticed in my task master that i have both Iass and Lass. Which one is the good one and which is the bad? And how do i get rid of the bad?
You're doing something wrong.
Did you boot to the CD? Do this:
When you first turn your computer on, before windows loads, you will see a message that says to press a certain key to enter setup. Pay attention, as the message may flash very quickly. It is usually an Fkey or esc or del. Tap this key as the computer starts up - before windows starts to load.
This will take you into BIOS. You use the arrow keys to navigate through BIOS.
In BIOS you want to look for Boot order or Boot sequence or maybe even just Boot. You want to set your CD drive as the first boot device. You usually use the plus and minus keys to move your devices around in the boot order.
Once you have your CD drive set as the first boot device, place the CD in the master CD drive. Now exit setup and SAVE changes (F10).
The computer will now reboot. You may see a message that says: "Press any key to boot to CD". Just keep tapping the space bar as the computer is starting back up (before windows loads). You will hear the Cd start spinning in the drive and see a blue sceen with the word "setup" at the top.
Now
The XP disk will format your hard drive. Just boot to the disk and enter setup. Press F8 to agree to the license agreement. Then follow this order:
1. Delete partitions
2. Create a new partition
3. Format your partition (to set up windows on the selected item press enter)
