Hi one & all,<br>
<br>
I was recently given two IBM Thinkpad laptop computers they both<br>
run Windows XP professional which I have been able to bring up<br>
without any difficulty.<br>
<br>
Both machines seem to be in good order & may not have been used<br>
in quite some time.<br>
<br>
It was hoped that I could run a linux operating system ie Debian<br>
all my attempts so far to overwrite Windows has failed.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions/help would be most welcome.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Laurie<br>
