what exactly are you doing with this laptop to be asked such information ?

Fuzz

New install of Win XP from disc.
I asked to manually determine the type of pc as I know it sometimes gets it wrong (well it did with my desktop a while ago anyway)

Andy

try a standard install first. Pointless trying to do a custom one, if the standard one works. You are just creating more work for yourself, and the more input a human has the more chance something wont be quite right.

let me know how it goes.

Fuzz

I dont mind more work, just want the correct setup to begin with.

Fuzz

anyone else also suggest I start with "Standard PC" ? no offence Joolz

I didnt mean a standard PC selection, I meant accept the defaults for the initial installation and see if that works first.

Fuzz

oh lol.

Ok still hovering over it, keeping it out of sleep mode waiting for replies.
