Hie all,
My computer boots into blue screen after re-installing it with windows xp professional sp2. The machine is a proline machine and the CD I used is the DELL reinstallation Cd.
I tried pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to view windows manager but this has not worked.
Can somebody help me out?
Regards,
George.

The reason it wont work is because Dell cd's only work on Dell machines.

And im pretty sure that constitutes software piracy, so tread carefully.

i don't think in my case there are 2 dell disk ,one has the drivers

maybe ,but i bought the laptop and the OS so its mine to use in my opinion.maybe not Bills .
it is piracy if the version installed on the laptop was an OEM copy (most likely) and therefore tied to the hardware.
