    I'm utterly sick of Linux making a big mouthful of errors when I try to do anything so I really want to go back to Windows XP. I'm trying to install XP Pro Corp Edition but when it is all installed it has no drivers for the graphics card and even worse is that it isn't detecting my internet, and I can't seem to establish a new connection for it because it says it's "already connected" when it clearly isn't. Anyone know what is going on here?

    xp is being xp, you have to hunt down drivers for all of your hardware. Chipset being the priority.

    You could boot up a livecd to get it onto the 'net , then download the drivers somewhere windows can see them , or maybe safer for you put them on a USB key or something.

    I found a drivers CD here, so I'll reinstall in a sec. If something goes wrong I'll use the liveCD.

    Victory! I re-installed Windows and installed the Dell drivers and everything is grand and dandy, nice to have it back! :)
