And I've been told to repair my lap top... You should take some information on LSD, it seems to work better than XP... "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: Don't know anyting about LSD Windows. Does the external HD work on that macihne? 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. -- Gary S.

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 ? "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: 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? -- Gary S.

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... |
