Solve : Installing XP on a Netbook?? |
|
Answer» Dear Forum, I have my installation disc for XP from my desktop computer. Is there a way to install from my desktop, since there is no optical drive in the netbook? Wouldn't this be against the XP EULA, unless he uninstalled it from the desktop computer first? Yes. Didn't CATCH that part...thanx Salmon...I thought installation on TWO computers for personal use was OK?

No. It has never been as far as I'm aware.Is this Ubuntu thing good? Thanks! Mike Only you can decide that... They have a "Live" version...it runs off the CD and doesn't need to be installed if you just want to TEST it...

Probably thinking of certain versions of Microsoft Office which allow installation on one desktop and one portable device.

Well the need to chime in and state I've done that overrides the points being made...

He made a very thoughtless and silly post, very much against what this forum stands for. I am very disappointed but not (these days) too surprised. I am deliberately being careful with my language. |
