Second, tell us if it came with what is called a "recovery CD" from the manufacturer (Toshiba, HP or else). Or are you installing Windows XP directly by yourself. If you are installing XP from scratch, there comes a point in the installation procedure (in the DOS like text window) where you can install XP on existing partitions or else. At that point, read instructions carefully on your screen. Right there, you can clean up all of your disk. Destroy any existing garbage or weird size partitions and create a new one the size of your hard disk. Once this is done, XP will install itself easily and it will most likely detect any USB hardware such as your mouse. Like The Coders said, as soon as your new installation starts, immediately download and install Service Pack 3 from Microsoft to install the maximum of security ASAP. This can be done easily by going to the Windows Update process using the start button. |

Silver Member Username: BernardmiPost Number: 151 Registered: Dec-07 | Cartier your are doing the right thing. If you have Partition Magic then you can correct many issues. Noteworthy is Partition Magic's resize option that works well. |
Silver Member Username: BernardmiPost Number: 152 Registered: Dec-07 | Cartier use Partition Magic to kill the dead partitions and then resize your 4G partition to maximum. I was not aware you had Partition Magic! This is the best tool for the job. |
