Finally i finished reinstall a laptop with Pentium III. Yes, it took me 6 hours and more to finish the installation. Just Windows XP installation only. I have to install drivers and other applications. The laptop is a very old Toshiba laptop with type dynabook ss. It still use Intel Pentium III 1,2GHz. It is very very slow 🙁
It doesn’t have internal CD Rom, so i have to use external DVD RW to read the Windows XP CD installation. And it using USB connector, and i’m sure it still use USB 1.1. It took me 2 hours to boot from CD and finish copying data, and format the harddrive.
Another 4 hours is istallation wizard from the Windows XP. And Finally it finished after a long time waiting…
This is just a story to remind me. And of course to share with you.
Feel free to leave any comment below. Thanks.

hi Mr. Ivan,
How did you boot the cd of xp in external dvd rom, my laptop did not boot in cd-rom even if i configure in BIOS.
please help

Look carefully at the POST message. Press the key to boot selection.
sry i dint see any boot key can press
It's weird, usually all motherboard have the BIOS POST message and have boot key option.
Anyway if you can't see it, then try to press F1-F12 randomly until you got it.
it work for me 🙂
yaya~~~i can chooes hdd or cd or floppy,i chooes the cd logo,but nothings happen~~still go to loading windows~~i using ext dvd-drive~what can i do now???
Please check if your motherboard support boot from usb or not.
When you choose boot from cd, was your cd inside the rom spinning or the light blinking?
Thanks
if not support then how can i install the o/s???i saw the bios they can change to boot from cd-rom~~i change the boot and still cannot~~
how about the light from the cd rom?
is it blinking?
when i put the cd then his blinking only~~~and the no blink aready~~
then i can assume your motherboard cannot detect your ext cd rom.
the other way to install it, take out the hard drive and install it on the other computer.
i wanna to try it~~i take out the hdd~~then i saw it is a micro hdd~~so ~~~T.T
hmm… that's harder now.
i know how to install Ubuntu on flash drive / micro sd. But never tried with Windows XP.
What is ubuntu???izzi same like windows????
Ubuntu is unix based operating system. see http://www.ubuntu.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)
ubuntu also cannot install~~~because cannot boot USB~~~
How about install that micro sd on another computer, and later you put it back to your laptop and boot from that micro sd.
