Hey guys,
Been given gf's netbook, Dell Inspiron 910, to try to fix as her bro totally messed it up haha.
Iv got an iso copy of xp pro sp3, and have used WintoFlash to copy the files onto the USB flash drive.
Popped the usb into the netbook and selected the text mode option to initiated the windows setup.
First issue is that when loading the windows drives/files it gives me an unexpected error, 32769 at line 5218 d:\xpsp\base\boot\setup\setup.c
Press any key to continue...
I manage to get to the start of the setup and select to setup xp now.
When i get to the partitioning section the netbook had like an 8gb ssd or something that isn't partitioned.
Now this is the main issue, i select to partition it to the max size it will let me, 7319mb. It says please wait then just returns me to the partition window having not partitioned anything...
What could the problem be?
The iso image of xp came from MSDN so its not a pirated dodgy copy.
Any thoughts on how or where to start would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance guys
