Excellent solution thank you
I would like to thank William and all the other contributors on this thread for an excellent solution to what seemed to me to be an unsolveable problem. After following the tuto and the various replies concerning some of the setbacks I experienced during my attempt I have finally managed to reinstall the Windows XP OS back to my dinosaur Acer 341T.
If I may I would care to add a note.The major setback I encountered personally was getting the DOS ver 7.10 to install onto the formatted laptop HDD,eventually after a couple of failed attempts with cd's(would run but not give installation prompt) I wrote the DOS ver 7.10 contents to a new floppy disc using winimage and booted the host desktop with the laptop's HDD still in slave mode on IDE 1 channel 2 with the master HDD on the desktop disconnected and DOS ver 7.10 started to install.
Many thanks again and keep up the good work
Regards .
Stuart.
