Hey Guys,
Just thought I would share my experience with Drivers for XP machines…
Early this week I decided to install Ubuntu on my Laptop, the laptop already had Windows XP on it. So my idea was to create a separate partition for Ubuntu and have a choice to dual boot at post. But sadly this was not the case. Once I had installed Ubuntu, computer restarted and I wasn’t presented with a choice, just booted straight into Ubuntu, which was not what I wanted.
I tried everything, created a boot disc to see all the partitions, sadly for some reason I was un-able to boot from CD… whether it was my laptop, or Ubuntu - I did not know!
I borrowed a XP Professional CD and formatted my laptop, and installed XP Professional. Once the installation was finished it had no drivers loaded apart from the monitor (Plug and Play) and the touch pad. So I had to find about 25 different drivers for different components. Sound, video, wi-fi everything! Took me a few hours, trying to find the latest drivers for everything. Terrible.
Why dont I get this problem with Macs? When I plug a device in, my iMac recognizes it every time. Doesn’t matter what the device is, it will still know what to do with it. Why does XP have to be different.
Its Microsoft….thats why!

Hey Guys,
I was shocked to find, that this is actually a bug on some Windows computers
It has never happened to me, but on the Windows Support website, they explain what can cause this:
During normal operation or in Safe mode, your computer may play “Fur Elise” or “It’s a Small, Small World” seemingly at random. This is an indication sent to the PC speaker from the computer’s BIOS that the CPU fan is failing or has failed, or that the power supply voltages have drifted out of tolerance. This is a design feature of a detection circuit and system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on.
Applies to:
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Edition • Microsoft Windows 95 • Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition • Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition
Has it happened to you?
Thanks,
