Hi drlucky,
Thanks for that. I’ll give it a go and see what happens. I guess I’ll have to format the HDD first, assuming I can get laptop to recognise it. If I need to register the XP software, I assume I can use the licence that comes with the “new” laptop or that for a copy I have from an old PC.
I’ll report back in due course, in case anybody else can benefit in future.
Thanks again,
Ian
