Old IBM Laptop...!

[dezinerite]

My friend wanted me to format & re-install Windows XP on her old IBM laptop (I think it's a Pentium 3). After re-installing, it just wont load properly. Instead, it keeps rebooting itself! Please help!

Thanks!

If it is a Pentium 3, why don't you just install Win2000? XP is overkill.

Did you change the RAM?

Could there be a problem with a restore partition or something?

Will try that, thanks!

Nope, didn't change the RAM. I don't think there's been any hardware modification ever since it was bought.

Probably.
