First off id like to say i think this is the right place to post, i couldnt think of where else. ok, so heres the problem. i have a tosiba protege 2010 with nothing on it, completely blank, apart from bios etc.
I need to install windows XP on it somehow. I have a removable cd drive but it is not recognised at boot so its not helpful. I heard about remote installations but i was wondering if they could be done by an ethernet cable. thanks alot. any other suggestions are welcome!
Ben.
