Hi, I was trying to install a copy of Windows XP that I downloaded in '06 onto my friend's mom's laptop computer, but it wouldn't take. I bought her a new hard drive (Seagate, 80GB) so that she could have more space. However, when I try to install the OS, I get an error message. I can't remember it exactly, but it was something about an NT dll error within a subdirectory of the System folder.
The OS copy that I have installs just fine on this computer, but it's on a hard drive from back in '06. So, have hard drive manufacturers put something on their hard drives now that prevent pirated Windows installations? Or, is it that I just have an outdated copy of Windows? I wanted to know 1) so that I don't sound too much like a fool when I have to explain this and 2) for increasing my knowledge. Thank you. -- VR~ TW Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Knowledge Is Power" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
