Hi all,
As I've bought my girlfriend a new lappy for christmas she is giving her old one to her daughter. However I would like to get rid of the godawful vista and put something more manageable on it. The laptop is a cheap acer and very little memory so it runs at a seriously slow pace. anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes to boot! Obviously there is a load of crap on there as well.
Is it as simple as formatting it and installing xp from a cd then installing the drivers afterwards? If so I was thinking of putting a wanted up on the classifieds for a disk.
Thanks in advance,
Shaun.
