Is there anyone who has the image DVD with Windows XP Professional on it? All I would need is an ISO image of it, please.

I do have the respawn disk but unfortunately it's for windows xp home other wise i would have made an image.

with your laptop have you ever encountered the black screen of death?

Do you have any video at all??? If not then you video card has probably gone to the grave.

My guess is that your video card has fried, look on eBay. Sometimes they have some bargans.

Its actually more likely that the motherboard fried, either directly above the video card or next to the processors. I'd say get a motherboard first, but you'll be pissed if it was the video card in the end. Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to tell, unless you have one of the AMD Auroras, in which case I'd say video card. I have 2 of the Intel Area 51s and about 1.5 more worth of parts. Every time I've had issues, its been with the JMicron SATA controller or the voltage regulators near the CPU. I actually had one board that I managed to fix by replacing the regulator the fried, only to have the SATA controller die within 3 months.

Bottom line: Good luck with that.

I dont know my dad has had a few 7700s in his day and the clevos D900T/Ks and its usually the graphics card and sata controllers which give the headaches. Have u tried an ext monitor?

I kinda need a respawn disc for my 7700 too i was hoping ebay had one but no luck. UK ebay is pants lol

hi
i have the respawn discs and the XP image. if it's any use..

when i replaced my MOBO, to ver.6.2
i tried to install XP and was getting the NO HD's FOUND message, even with the RAID SATA/IDE controller drivers of various versions, quoted on many forums, even the Promise raid controllers.
i tried slip streaming in to xp 3 times. even brought a usb FD and tried the F6 option and nothing.
put in the respawn which found my 2 HD's (IDE not SATA in Bios) and and laid the ground work then put in the image cd and away we go,running..
loaded the original XP Pro SP2 all AW'ed up and working fine.
it seems the RAID controller does it's thing before XP even starts. it's like a little break in the BIOS POST showing both drives and there mount points etc... then it continues with the POST. if you press F2 it loads the PROMISE RAID CONTROLLER before entering the BIOS hence why the bios dosn't pick up the HD's until these are installed.

i know this because my original MOBO Ver 6.1 decided to stop seeing the HD's at all!

i'm rambling

As an after thought, you could in theroy use the respawn disc to lay the ground work. then make your own vista/W7 image on another machine, not sure about the other drivers for video etc, but it should solve the HD issue????
