Also, what version of XP on CD are you using - i.e. original, SP2, SP3? If you have PCI-Express on your laptop you need at least SP2. If it's below this you'll need to make a slipstreamed install CD or disable PCI-Express in your bios. At least, I think that's right. I kept getting a pci.sys error a while back doing something similar (although not quite as mad) and I seem to remember that was the fix.

Edit: sorry - that's to cynicoid

I can't do a re-install as I only have an upgrade disk and all my OS's have been upgrades since Win3.11 - so no full software until W7, plus the laptop doesn't have a floppy drive so I can't go that route.

I have to install XP as there are a couple of programs that will not run on W7 or Vista and I absolutely need them, there are no alternatives that I could export the data to. I can't do a repair via the upgrade disk as I've since patched to SP3 and the original disk doesn't like that.

I've changed full system components before (m/board, graphics, soundcard, memory, processor) and every time the OS has picked up the change and re-installed all the neccessary drivers no problem, I thought moving to a laptop would have been much the same.

Looks like I'll have to keep dual-booting on my desktop then. The annoying thing is if MS reduced the price of its legacy software rather than keeping it at full price I'd go out and buy another copy to install.

Have you thought about XP Mode? (Assuming your version of 7 supports it)

You can use an upgrade disk to do a clean install, you just need to show it a previous OS CD during the installation and I think with XP there's even a way to frig it into thinking it's upgrading itself.

Can't do XP mode with my version of W7, can't use a previous OS disk as they've all been upgrade disks and there's an issue with the files being older than the ones I'm trying to repair.

Think I'll ask Captain Sparrow for a copy but then there's the whole issue of hidden nasties. Going to have a go a deleting some hardware registry keys to see if that works, nothing to lose as everytings backed up and cloned so I can always get back to my current position.

Thank you, but I'm not as dumb as a look: as evidenced by the fact that I can walk and breathe simultaneously.

I tried that button, and put the URL from the address bar in the pop up. The result is up there, as a bloody link.

Dunno, but that was at work, and the whole button thing is pretty funky there. I have to hand-code links and images because the editor doesn't work. I'm more than happy to attribute this to some IT shiteness at work.

Had a brief look at what was available from the happy ship, and the one that looked the best had nothing but 'virus, rootkit, keylogger' in the comments section from peeps who'd scanned it with various tools. With the number of .exe's in an OS it's all too easy to slip something in there that shouldn't be, I'm not that confident that a malware and virus scanner would pick up everything that was dangerous. It only takes one nasty to slip through the net and a lot of damage could be done.

I have

a) never installed a legit copy of Windows

b) never found any nasties in any Jim'd copy of Windows.
