I have just managed to get XP on my Fujitsu Amilo laptop using a
recovery CD and an external CD drive after it was cabbaged by some
viruses - I've belatedly installed AVG - but when starting up, there
is a freeze on the screen that invites me to press F2 or F12, for Bios
and so on, which I can get out of by pressing esc or sometimes that
and a random bunch of keys.
Then I get a screen asking me to choose between 2 Windows Home
Editions; I had to manually remove the second one but I imagine there
is some kind of system file which I merely have to change or delete a
line within. Can someone steer me to the right place and tell me
what needs changing, or otherwise help.
I didn't wipe the hard drive and start from there, but everything else
is very satisfactory now even if I may have a few duplicate files
lying around from other User Accounts, etc and System Restores, etc.
Thanks in advance.
