bleeding and suffering edge, if you ask me.....
I wasn't really aware of how many problems 64-bit would cause in my life.
Believe me, I did NOT want Vista, but nothing is being sold anymore with XP installed
I've been perfectly happy with XP ever since it came on market, and am seriously considering hunting down XP 64-bit to install on my Dell.
Getting another drive for the Dell could be problem, I can't shop online.
Would it work to test the image on the laptop, and then if it fails, use the "factory recovery" partition or disks to re-install back to the beginning?
Well, I gotta shut this down, end of day for me, I'll check back in the morning.
Thanks for coddling me through this, greatly appreciated.
