hello i hope some one out there has the answer to this as i am pulling out my hair . heres the problem. hp tx2500 tablet notbook . was given to me after a few features stopped working the lad asked if i could reinstall the os and redo the drivers. i thought simple as just stick xp pro on it . well that failed . install failed at the point where it restarts went to blue screen . so i tried installing the os on the hd in another machine then transfering it back that wouldnt boot either . so i tried vista the original os for that machine. it runs in to install all the way to completing instalation and just hangs. i have tried making a vlite os with the hp drivers for the laptop incase it was missing something . ( not sure if i did this vlite thing right to be fair was first time trying it ) once the machine hangs i have also tried just rebooting and then it goes to the vista loading screen and hangs. i have had the hd out and installed vista in another laptop and loads in fine so i dont susspect a problem with the hd. after that i tried different ram removing wireless card and also the cd drive incase there was some kind of hardware problem. nothing i am trying is working any ideas guys would be greatly appriciated . cheers ben
