    imtrying to change my os on my AA1 from linux :roll: to xp ;) .iv got the original xp disc (with all the updates )and is good to go .according to some peeps its just a matter of rebooting from the drive and following the prompts .but when i try and boot from the drive nothing happens?it just boots and runs linux ?wtf?iv disabled d2d and have done f12 when powering up and it gives me the option of booting from the external drive (so it obv sees it )but when i select the drive and click on enter to boot from it .it just boots up as usual into linux ??any ideas why its doing this peeps :oops:
