It'll run better than ME, ME is a crock of shite. The BIOS shouldn't need updating at all. Install XP, turn off Fisher Price mode, it runs fine. If he got errors it's cause he's installing it from a CD that's fucked or screwing it up somehow else. | |

I've seen XP running quite happily on a P2 333Mhz machine, so yours should be fine. And no, Windows Install only formats the drive if you tell it to. | |

If you install XP on another computer, you'll need to reinstall it on your computer. Nothing to do with activation shite, just XP uses so many hardware-dependant drivers it won't start if a lot of hardware changes. I found this when I upgraded my computer. | |

I'm assuming what you have done is just uninstalled Windows Me which has then gone back to Windoes 98. BAD IDEA! You really need to format the Hard Drive and start again with either 98 or Me. Again i'm assuming that your system is faily old. | |
