hey all bit of a hard one here

basically a few years ago my son droped my laptop and cracked the screen. so i have been using it though a tv via hdmi. windows got currupt due to hard fri failure.

my questain is how could i install windows on to this laptop using the hdmi? is this even possible to load a hdmi during the setup process? i have tryed creating a unattened install of xp doesnt seem to work. the graphocs card on the laptop is a ati one. i have also tryed conecting it to a normal monitor but the fn keys dont work without the sony event service installed so it dont work

laptop is about 4 years old but its worth trying to get it working espcially as i just brought a 500GB hdd for it

thanks

i have also tryed conecting it to a normal monitor but the fn keys dont work without the sony event service installed so it dont work

That's "strange" normally the Fn keys are mapped "in BIOS" and work "before and outside" the OS.

I do not know why I am getting emails for this topic. It is not my question. Just thought I would alert the forum since the message may not be getting to the person who needs the info.
