My XP Home system

I got tired of my XP Home system acting weird so I decided to give it a bit of a change.

Without being connected to the Internet

  • Removed the 80GB hard drive from the old PIII
  • Installed it in the XP Home system as Master
  • Booted my XP Home CD and installed it
  • Installed SP2 CD that I have
  • Installed Creative Audgy2 SoundBlaster software minus AOL junk

Connected to the Internet

  • Installed IE7
  • Installed SP3 CDs that I have

Now to install my favorite applications.

I can't help but notice, what was it that made you decide not to re-install IE8?

My mistake, you do need to install IE7 beforehand.

Mines had a few issues over the months which are mostly transparent which is why XP surprises me sometimes with its resilience to keep on going. I even made a customized SP3 patched setup disc using nLite for the eventual reinstall, however XP is going to have to literally be on its very last legs before I format.

I was just bored and its too durn cold to go outside for a walk that I like to do and an all day M.A.S.H marathon on the History channel left little to watch on TV.

Only 10 days until I get my Vista system and I will have something to entertain me.
