I have a dell PP06L laptop that someone asked me to fix because it was slow. I scanned for viruses and spyware, and even went into safe mode, but it was still slow even after entering safe mode and scanning for the malicious files. I backed up his files and with his permission, reformatted everything with the help of my computer. I soon found out that the DVD drive didn't work, so I tried various ways to install XP including copying all of the XP disc files onto the hard drive, but it was no use - I couldn't get onto the hard drive even with a bootdisk. It can't be booted from either an external hard drive or external DVD burner because it doesn't support USB booting.
The laptop is a Dell PP06L with an Intel Pentium 4 processor, 256mb RAM, and a 30gb hard drive. The optical drive is a DVD-ROM drive, but it doesn't work.
If anyone has any suggestions as how to get this up and running, please let me know.
