Hi there,
ill start by giving a link to the laptop:
OK, we ordered these with Windows XP Home, and it was meant to be XP Pro - when we try and just install XP Pro Via the disc, in windows over the top of the Home Install -it doesn't let us
So, we tried a clean install - by formatting it and booting from the CD....but the only way to do this, is to load the RAID drivers form a USB Floppy Disc - it appears to load these ok, but it asks for these drivers again - in doing so, it crashes (this is when the USB floppy drive is plugged in again).
Apparently, according to the Fujitsu Helpline, it is not possible to install XP Pro - as it is "not supported".
Has anyone came accross this problem before - and know how to get around it?
many thanks,
Neil
