My eMachines W3118 came with a restoration DVD for the factory
installed XP home, which includes all the drivers.

Good God, man! An expert electronic tech that admits he has an
eMachine w/XP home...WTF!



I have over 100 computers at home. I refurbish them and give them
away for free. I used one eMachines Windows ME computer for ten years,
and the original install of ME is still in use in another, later model?
I needed ME to use an older flat bed scanner so I stuck the drive into a
T1220 that was shipped with XP..

You do know that a lot of HP computers used the same motherboard,
power supply and drives as eMachines that sold for half the price?

Or that Gateway and eMachines is owned by Acer?
