Need Help With Windows
Hi..Im using HP Compaq V3791TU.After I bought this notebook,i just realise that this laptop doesnt support windows XP.If you install windows Xp,some of the drivers will be missing.So now i would like to install windows Vista and windows XP in my laptop,cuz somw of my programs need to be run from XP
So can this be done?By installing 2 windows in the same hdisk bt different partition? |

what do you mean by "it doesn't support XP"? I mean, of course windows XP won't include all drivers in the standart installation - you have to go to the HP homepage and get them seperately.

I think that Laptop came with FreeDos in it, It says at the CompaQ website that the recommend Vista for that laptop. BUT if it was ME, I would install XP..
XP would run so much better.. You just would have to hunt down the drivers. |
