L.S.
We had a system donated to our local Historical Society.
It's an older Acer MB, p4, 512meg, 20g HD, winxp.
Problem is the HD is going out. Won't start 1/2 the time(blue screens) and
when it does it clatters like crazy. The winxp is an upgrade from win98se.
We have original box with cd and codes.
We have a 80g we're going to replace, if we can find instructions. (hint)
question- what do we need to do, if anything, to transfer license for the
old HD to new one? The 20g HD is going away.
Also can someone point us to how to install new HD. Not physically, that no
problem but program, reformat, install winxp ,etc.etc.etc. We're not sure
what's on the 80g HD.
There are 'several' instruction on the net(google) and all a little
different.
thanks,
