well, I installed the second copy on a seperate partition (same HD though). Is THAT OK? Fortunately, I can still get my data if I find something I didn't back-up by booting with the "new" XP install on my D drive. I can...

OK, I really screwed this up. I tried to re-install over an already working XP Pro to fix change a setting. The install started an unending loop of stalling with 13 min. left then when i reboot, it goes right back to the install no...

I can't find it. Right now I'm unable to get this #@$%^%^^ thing to stop the XP install OR to finish it. I'll check the Bios later if I can, but i was there recently and it just say "enabled" for low battery alarm. nothing...

A while back I changed my laptop setting to "standard pc" . Now, it does not give me the Battery life icon nor a battery low warning. The icon always shows the plug - ac power - even when unplugged. This is NOT a problem in...

Thanks gerry. Actually, what I think I did was not delete the device, but I updated the driver to the "Standard PC" choice. However, I can not get it to find any new driver to change to now. I tried the windows disk but...

Thanks, but that's not it. I did some more looking around and found out how I changed it. I went into device manager, "computer" and either deleted the driver or the device. When I rebooted, I then could select...
