PC Problems

[Zirak]

I backed up my daughter's HD and while that long process was going on I dug around the computer room a bit more and found another Win XP disk - I had been using a Dell disk that came with my wife's computer, this one was a store bought disk. Once the back-up was done I put her computer back together, popped in this other OS disk and booted to CD. This disk, unlike the one from Dell, recognized her Windows install and offered to repair it. I had quite a bit of patching to do once it was done but the important bit is that she is back up and running. There are a few bits of hardware that the computer is failing to install drivers for but I'm not sure which components are causing the issue right now but that can wait to be fixed once I am no longer so burned out on working on her computer - at least she is running.

Thanks for the suggestions.
