Hi all,
I have a new Acer laptop which comes with a preloaded linpus linux basic edition v9.2. I want to load windows xp professional on it. But it just goes into the command mode and it does not take any command.
Please help
Regards,
Sherlock
Find a live linux cd, most of them have two disk utilities on them that you can use to format and partition your hd. I'm not familiar with the model of laptop you are referring to, be sure this is what you want to do. Windows drivers may be hard to come by or the bios may not like XP.
