Im so glad i came across your blog(XP on a freevents)
I`ve just aquired 11NB5800 and would rather dedicate the 2gig of ram to an XP platform than a Vista,unfortunatly for me when i get a notion the price tag is as meaningful as a binary string so within two weeks i had barged through the void if removed sticker and whay hey,at that point it doesnt matter anymore cos your`e not going to get any help from PC world.I managed to strip it down and install another hard drive but guess what,system didnt recognise it.Hence the joy when i found your blog.So i can have XP.Im not a pc wizz but your description seems pretty sraight forward.Thanks
