re: Boot problems with Windows XP CD Rom Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 12:30 am Posted by Big John (105 messages posted) Computer manufacurers send out OEM forms of software that will only work on the system that it comes with. As for laptops I have encountered some that were fixed to the OS that it came with. I could not upgrade from 98 to ME. Sorry for the bad news.
