I hate dell like nothing else
Gf gave me Inspiron 5100 to fix cuz of BSOD registry error, system restore to last known good config did nothing so I tried reformat and reinstalling xp. Booted from XP sp2 cd, saw 2 drives the first one not even having a valid name and less than 20mb, and secondary drive which I was only able to reformat and install XP to. Install failed now everytime I reboot it tries to continue installation but keeps asking for Winxp SP2 cd even though it's in there. Booting up from CD just continues the installation, no option to even reformat...is this proprietary hell and I have to sell my soul to get my gf's laptop working again? :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
