XP On a HP Compaz 2133?

tres · 4 Dec 2008 at 08:54

Hello all,

I just want to check - is it easy enough to install XP on a HP Compaq 2133 Mini-Note?

It's preloaded with Linux at the moment, and has a VIA C7®-M ULV Processor
1.2 GHz, 128 KB L2 cache.

XP fine with VIA processors?

Also, I have legal copies of XP on disk - possible to utilize a USB stick in getting XP on?

Thanks!!

Have a look at this page for installing XP from a USB stick, used it for installing XP on my EEE PC but should work just as well with the laptop. No issues with VIA processors afaik.
