Sure, my Hd pefrecly runs on it. And I've been told to repair my lap

You should take some information on LSD, it seems to work better than
XP...

If all that's wrong with the laptop is the HDD, that's really easy to
replace. But yes, laptops have problems with heat, and dirt will make
such
problems quickly degenerate into disasters. One thing: Dont vacuum the
dirt
out, blow it out with either a can of compressed air or the *exhaust*
from a
cannister vacuum cleaner (fresh bag, of course.) Compressed air like you
find at a tire shop or service station is too high a pressure for this
type
of job.

Of course, if you're not familiar with taking things apart *and* putting
them back together, you might want a tech to do the job, but just
replacing
the HD is usually a simple job and you can probably get the replacement
for
under a hundred bucks. If you have the make/model/serial number, and/or
service tag (like on Dells), it's easy to look up the schmatics and see
how
hard the procedure might be. The HDs themselves are pretty universal.

the HD of the machine is breoken, seemly because of an over-heat.(too
much
dirt in the fan area). But today one of my friend gave me a P3, i think
it
will work better. But for the moment he installed and gave me the CD of
windows LSD, and it's the first time I see that. But it seems to use
less
memory on working, than XP.Do you know that ?

With that machine and that version of Windows...

All I can say is to try the Win98SE installer from the page I gave
you.
If
it installs, maybe you have a chance. Otherwise, I think you're SOL.
And
even if that package does install, at those speeds I'd worry about the
integrity of the data. Sorry for the sad news.

The machine that's broken... What's broken? can it be repaired?

it's a 4.10.1998 version. The USB port goes thru a PCMCIA card...
So you think it's dead with the USB 2.0...
... fed up with these things but I really thank you for all...
