A really stupid (yet annoying) problem with my OS.
Hey Guys,
I have this weird problem. My laptop's only OS (Windows 2k3) crashed. Now normally, I would have popped the Windows CD and recovered or reinstalled the OS. But my laptop's CD drive is not working. My laptop is a 3 year old Acer (AMD sempron 3000+, 512, 40GB, onboard SIS) Now I had a genius idea of removing the hard drive of this laptop and put it in my other laptop (with working CD drive) and install the OS there (Windows again), and then put the hard drive back in my old laptop. (The plan obviously didn't work as the OS attaches itself to the processor... i suppose) (and my other laptop is an intel) Now how can I install OS in laptop. (I have heard that we can install OS through network, but I am not sure if my laptop supports it), anyways, is there any OS which can be installed on the intel machine but will still work on my AMD laptop? (My C: is clean and formatted and I would install any OS on it if it later allows me to install Windows or Linux) Thanks in advance |
