Biohead Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'll cut the story short and tell you that smacking a laptop hard disc is not good for it.I'm picking up a new HDD tomorrow and wondered whether I should install longhorn 4074 as a main OS or even as my secondary OS.Currently I am using XP pro as main and ME as my secondary OS.And is there the option of being able to delete one of the languages in my ISO (I think it's polish) so it would fit onto a standard CD? I really don't want to attempt to overburn using a 3 year old laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeva Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I recommend you to install Longhorn onto a Virtual PC, there are no drivers available for other hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, LH is about as stable as Me.Removing components from LH is difficult because everything is packed into a WIM file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohead Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well, I managed to get holdof a DVD of 4074 and its working fine. No crashes and it seems ti be very stable. It takes a while to boot up though, 15 mins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPry565 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Longhorn is not very stable and there are still bugs, if you are comfortable with crashing and bugs, then install it as your main os. But there are not many drivers out there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPry565 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Where did you obtain this software from? J/W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohead Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 I got hold of it from a friend of mine who had a disk.I now cannot get sound as there obviously no drivers for my audio device. I also have 5048 which is much quicker but still have the sound problems.I am using a standard Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 laptop, with an upgraded HDD.
