trying to do a clean install on a HP a405n system.
I have a Windows Vista Home Premium DVD.
When I try to boot to do a clean install it asks for the cd for the Windows
xp version to authenticate the install.
Since the back up cd's for the original system is 18 cd's this not possible.
also the original install software is on drive D.
How can I satisfy this requirement???
If I do a upgrade to the xp system is is very slow in performance. HP will
not help because the system was sold with xp and they do not support upgrades
to it. I have other upgrades on a Toshiba laptop and a test pc and they
perform great.
Any suggestions on how to satisfy this???
