Have lost windows XP...?
2 Answers
I have a laptop which I was given ..Fujitsu Siemens V3515 .. it is absolutely immaculate and looks unused
As I already have a laptop, I thought I'd fiddle about with this as it's a spare.
It had xp on it ... ( I have no disks) ... I created a partition and loaded Ubuntu onto it with firefox.
It all worked fine, but when I started it today it said I needed to re activate windows.
After going through the phone call with microsoft everything seemed ok.
So I thought I might remove the partition which had Ubuntu on it, and reclaim the disk space as I have lost interest in Ubuntu.
Using disk management I deleted the partition with Ubuntu on it ...before you ask I checked which one I was deleting ... now when I try to re-boot it does'nt get as far as the welcome screen and just hangs on a blank screen ...
Any ideas on what I have done wrong..?
Sorry..somehow I seem to have posted this in travel..dont tell me off !
