Toug,

WinXP should install fine on a T20 with latest BIOS and embedded controller, so please slowly and carefully explain exactly what is happening - error messages, things you have tried, etc.

PS - I love my T20 too, even more so since I put XP on it.

Hmmm,

We're having a bit of a language problem, but if I understand you correctly you are saying you can only get into XP if you remove the Xircom card? Do you mean that you need to physically disconnect thae card?

What happens when you don't disconnect it? Does it hang, or do you get errors?

The first thing to try is boot into safe mode by pressing F8 at startup. Go into Device Manager and delete the Xircom card from the list of hardware. Then re-install the driver for the card and reboot.

Let me know what happens - especially any error messages that appear.
