It's got XP home on it and thats all I know. It constantly cycles in boot mode and there is a bluescreen there, but it disappears so quickly, I don't know what its bluescreening over.
I was hoping that I had an old-but-working version of linux on cd somewhere, to get into some files stored on the windows bit of the hdd, but I haven't been able to find it, however, there's an old beta of Win7 I found and I'm contemplating attempting that - the question is, would it work?
All I know about the computer is that it looks like it's not a retail pc unit and it smells (was in bad storage before I got it - laundry and cats mostly)
I asked the previous owner what operating system and she answered 'facebook' - so no prizes for guessing that this is going to take some sorting out.
Any help would be appreciated
