its adventures really...

i got a pack of 'stickers' recently:

 i've already thrown one away.  but this here's one i'm using now:

 

 

just took my win98se hdd out of the old r40 thinkpad and burned my really old 'winxp pro w/service pack 3' iso to a cd that my r40 can read, when i swap the zip drive out for the cd bay to use 

...

ah, here's the drive i'm putting the win xp on atm:

with my humblest digital (kodak) camera (which i love) (and has small picture file sizes)

anyway, tried with the linuxes on this additional new 80gb drive, but its just not happening so far.  tried antix, mxlinux, slackware, and debians...  anyway, i think it may be interesting revisiting the xp.

what do you think?  yea, it's most likely not an issue with the hdd's.  i fear the most likely is that 32bit flavours of solutions are less well supported.  but i am not sure of the details of the problem yet.

and well yeaa, windows 98/ dos is fun.  why not another 80 gig hdd for windows xp  😎 

...well that's interesting...  the win xp setup/installer kept giving me a bsod (blue screen of death)...  until i took out one of the 1gb sticks of ram.  i think it was the one i got online as an upgrade.  maybe that could be 'all the random software glitches'...

yes, interesting.  i did only use half of this drive for win xp.  so i could easily install a linux side by side, if that's the issues i was having with the linuxes (that bad ram (?))... 

i guess i'll let you know.  so far so good  :P

[blah, was having issues with every install when i was trying with usb sticks, but i think it was cuz of the ram, now..  but that's how i tried a cd in these ventures... hehe]  --EDIT--
