It's a great little laptop, though technology long passed it by, and at the moment it only has 384KB of memory. If the update "takes," I'll update the RAM to 512KB. This is the machine I let household guests use. Gosh, if it works out, I'll be as up to date OS-wise as the great computer gurus here. Yeah, that's a problem. Someone changes a harddrive, or installs windows and they think they are a CNE.. We go in and clean up their messes, all the time  Hopefully, it won't be a problem. I repartioned the single hard drive and am reformatting it to get rid of all traces of the old OS. There's an active mailing list for the IBM (now Lenovo) portables, and the gurus there said I should be able to do the OS upgrade with minimal hassle. The only worry I have is being able to find all the device drivers, but I was assured that won't be a serious issue. We shall see. I also have a master driver CD around somewhere... Though I like the IBM portables, this is my last, since the new owner of "Thinkpads" is now a mainland Chinese company.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I always end up back with Toshiba, and I use mine in the shop! Going to XP you should have few driver problems. The only poblem we are having is some of the drivers want to see "C" as the boot drive, and we have Vista there... VISTA????????? OMG, your computers must be crashing all the time. :-) If that happens, just call 1-800-REGGIE-SUX for tech support. Harry, Why do you find it necessary to use childish insults? |
