 Why disable new hardware/software,the only hardware devices you should
 have installed are the mouse,keyboard,monitor,leave the BIOS alone...Youre
 best bet for that upgrade is to,install xp cd,exit the info page,restart
computer,
 boot to xp cd,then select,install xp,delete the partition (ME),create
one,then let
 xp install auto.Like i said,leave the BIOS as is..
