    Hello all new to the forums.

    Whats brought me here is a strange problem I have never had before when wiping my laptop.

    I've used desktops for as long as I can remember, I have always used XP, but I bought a laptop off my mate and it has Vista on it, I hate Vista plus I like to wipe whenever I get a new PC, so I put my XP disk in the laptop, pressed any key to boot from the disk.

    On the first blue screen where is is checking figuration or something like that I got the error cannot find toside.sys (this might be slightly wrong but I'm pretty sure it is correct) so I rebooted again and went through the same process again, this time I have "the file sbp2port.sys could not be found" and I'm sure if I restart again another error will happen.

    I've never had this probelem before, this should be an easy process.

    Any help on this would be nice.

    Thank you.

    Well, first of all.... What kind of laptop is it ? What hard drive does it have ? IDE or sata ?
