    Mixing xp slave drive with Vista master drive

    Thanks. So there will be no conflict with the xp configured slave with the master vista configed drive? Sound good to me if that is the case. Now if the drives were reversed where the os is the slave and the master disk has the xp config? Regards, Vidkid

    keyboard and mouse do not work in window xp

    Thanks for your reply.

    keyboard and mouse do not work in window xp

    Thanks for your reply. I bought this computer at a close out sale of a computer repair place. I did not get this banner until 2 years later, and all we did was to cancel it.This lasted up until now. If I install an oem version, won't I lose all information? Thanks again, vidkid

    I have been using an external usb hard drive as a redundant back up for my internal hard drive. For no apparent reason, when I try to access it, it asks my to format it.
