Re: How to Fresh Install Win XP (Step-by-Step Guide)
Has anyone used a Dell XP Pro reinstallation disc instead? It is almost identical to a normal XP disc. I suppose I could extract the i386 folder from the Dell disc and use this guide to make a disc but if I can avoid doing this that would be great.

Re: Is Vista 7b stable enough for normal usage
It's my sole OS on my T23, not bad for an 8 year old computer. Installation is easier than XP due to more drivers being detected. I'm not a power user but everyday operation is near as quick as XP.

Closer inspection shows that the stick that does not beep has one gold pin where a portion is scraped off. The other stick gives 4 beeps, no extra pause in between the beeps. This stick has a cracked chip. I do have a x22 but at this point I don't think it would be wise to test it. Would this ram be...

Installed two MT16LSDF6464HG-133C2 CL3 chips in my T23. When either is installed they beep 4 times and one of them sometimes does not beep at all. In all cases the screen is blank and the machine does not boot. Needless to say when both sticks are installed it does not work either. I don't think its...

X40 recovery discs on X41
Would it be wise to use a set of XP SP2 X40 recovery discs on a X41? I did this and it seems to work but will I run into problems down the road? Also, XP did not asks for a key...is this normal? I am using a hard drive from a X40 that had a previous install of XP and I plan to sell the X41 so I don'...

Picked this up last weekend for my new T42. I had $10 off any order coupon so it was only $37 plus tax & pickup. They then sent me a $10 off $50 coupon for filling out a simple survey that I can use for my next order.

Hard Drive upgrade ?
Planning to swap out the original HD on my T42 to something bigger. If the T42 still has 2 years warranty left does the HD's 2 years warranty transfer to whoever buys the HD? If my T42 has to be sent to IBM for warranty will there be a problem because I don't have the original HD.
TIA
