From: "Frank Haber" Based on 2 out of three overlay upgrades I've seen (2 Dell, 1 Toshiba), you'd do better collecting a set of current drivers and formatting. Then the only gotcha is that some updates look for the OEM versions of XP. I've heard of BIOS flashers from CD/HD refusing to run; haven't seen that one in person. The 2 out of three got reformatted. I'm assuming you're not wedded to any OEM-supplied software. For instance, most software DVD players won't install/upgrade to a retail XP. And Dell's MS Office bundles are not standard software - they're not upgradeable, and won't reinstall on retail. That enough? --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 379/45 1 396/45 106/2000 633/267 |
