1. Ok I restored my sony vaio PCV Rs-400 series desktop. i have no dsl or any other internet cable to connect to my pc, i do have a netgear wireless N-300 network adapter. my only problem is that in order to use the adapter i have to install the cd, which will only install if i update my microsoft xp to acquire a hotfix. I have no initial internet connection so i am unable to aquire the update. So how can i install my adapter and get internet?
2. I have 2 hard drives, the main drive has 15gb and the secondary has 90gb. i want to switch them but am unsure how. i was planning on deleting the partitions, switching the drives, then creating a new partition on the drive, but the sony vaio lacks this capability. Instead in has a built in vaio restore helper. Is there any way to delete the partitions?
3. If i can delete the partitions i would like to install a different version of XP. the current one is 2001 and comes with all sorts of useless software from sony that I do not want. I had another computer with XP 2003 that does not come with extra software, but its not the actual OS cd, but a reinstall cd for dell computers. Can i still use this disk to reinstall windows on the sony?
