I bought my computer through radio with Xp, I'm attending
Devry University, and ordered a free upgrade (cause of the
school). When I put the cd in and asked if I wanted to
Install or upgrade xp, I said upgrade, I started the
upgrade and then when it got to install a specific file
it'd resart the computer then restart the installion from
the beginning and do the same thing over and over, After
three hours of doing this I knew something was wrond and
had to do a whole bunch of things to get back to the
begiing where it asked me if I wanted to install or
upgrade, I just installed it over my original instead of
upgrading. Now some of my device like my built in Network
LAN card is not installed along with some other stuff like
sm controller and something that deals with my sound. I've
tried installing them and even stuck my orginal operation
install cd in so that the troubleshooter can search it for
my driver information, but it can't find anything. HELP
WHAT SHOULD I DO??? If you can help me, e-mail me at
(e-mail address removed). I look forward to someone helping me.
 
Your university probably has an IT department... They can
help.

There are several steps that should be done when installing
an OS, such as removing (add-in) hardware, anti-virus
programs and reading the instructions...
