Hi out there
I fear I lost my first post, if this is redundant I beg you pardon.
1. I experience XP HOME OEM Installation hangs at :
Setup is reading files <NTFS-Filesystem>
(This is a free translation from German)
with a black screen and a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, when
I use the following hard drives
1. Western Digital IDE WD200BE
2. Samsung IDE SV2042H
both drives are quite old and no drivers are available to be used in the F6
process
With a new 30GB HD the installation works just fine.
Any Idea why XP refuses to install with theses HD's
2. A legal question.
I want to switch my XP Home OEM from the old PC to a new one.
The old one will be trashed afterwards.
Is this possible (legally and practically) if yes what do I have to do to
make this clear to MS. (Activation key and whatever information is traded in
this process)
Thanks in advance to all who respond with helpfull information
best regards
Martin
