Windows XP uninstall windows 2000

i know which driver i have to download now but Dell won't let me, it keeps timing out or starting and getting stuck half way.

its driving my nuts!!!!!!

:mad:
 
managed to download the file from DELL (it was a built in Ethernet adapter) but now i can't even start up the laptop.

doesn't even get into BIOS

i push the button, it sounds like it's starting up, don't get anything on the screen and then it gves up, turns itself off.

i managed to get into it once the other day, stuck it on hibernate so it wouldnt turn off but its now doing the same thing again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any suggestions?
 
Make a lousy paperweight ... maybe use it as a door stop?

Sorry, if it won't turn on, I cant 'fix' it. ;)

I know it sounds terminal, but if you can get it to work again or you want to have a play with it to and see what is wrong, see if your local library has a copy of Upgrading & Repairing Laptops by Scott Mueller. I used the same book to rebuild a laptop about 9 months ago when all seemed lost, it now works & is used daily to test software with, it may be worthless, but i'm very proud i got it to work again:D
 
books to help

The books by Scott Mueller are the Laptop one & Uprading and Repairing PC's:thumb: now in it's 16th Edition, both cost about £40 but my local library had both, CD or DVD in the back of book is worth having a look at, lots of useful info on it.:thumb: The Author also does a book on Upgrading & Repairing Microsoft Windows.
