I wasn't sure where else to put this, so sorry about the inconvenience if there is any.
A while ago, my friend Anthony gave me two Dell laptops that he owned, and that had crashed from one reason or another.
-Dell Latitude D610
-Dell Latitude D600
The D600 was stomped on and worthless for anything but spare parts, so he gave it to me. His D610 was also worthless and a paper weight to, so I now own that one two.
I put the working parts of the D600 into the D610 that would fit, and then got his old hard drive that crashed. I put the hard drive in it, Formatted it, then put windows 7 enterprise on the laptop.
It worked fine for about a week.
[I still had to use software to get the CPU fan to work plus the there was a problem with charging and the sound, I wasn't fussed about sound, but I charged the battery in the dead D600]
But then just last weekend, I knocked over the table it was on, causing it to fall off and then for some reason it turned it self off. It worked fine for a day, but then I tried putting a hacked version of sims 3 on it.
[it started to freeze all operations the computer was doing while extracting so I took the battery out, It just started working the second before I took the battery out]
As everyone would probably do, I tried to turn it on to see if it still worked, it asked me for start-up repair, but I skipped it, it nearly loaded but the hard-drive started clicking and then the blue screen appeared on the screen, as I would normally, I assumed that it was over-heating so I killed the power and left it for an hour. I tried to turn it on but now the hard drive clicks and it comes up with a BIOS error.
A while ago, before I got the H.D.D for it, I attempted to boot Windows XP Pro SP1, from an external Hard Drive. It would load normally, but after a second on the windows loading screen it would come to the blue screen and then would restart and do a loop.
I checked online for some help, and some people before me have tried this, they said it was something to do with the USB ports refreshing, and that you need an older version of the system file, but that was about as much help as I could find.
Does anyone here know, or had any experience in how to solve this? I sure its possible, since a friend of mine can boot Linux from his 16GB USB.
