hello, i recently acquired a dell inspiron mini 10. the computer was very virus ridden, and even after i tag-teamed it with the best coarse of virus/registry repair software i have, its still next to unusable. it has no recovery partition, sadly... so, i have been trying to reboot it with a clean slate of windows xp pro. the issue is when i run the xp loader, it gets stuck at the loading windows screen after it inspects my hardware, and loads the main software. i never get to the partition screens. what ive ruled out: the computer boots with its current os, so its not hdd, ive tried 4 different versions of windows xp, and ive tried booting from usb, memory card, and usb-dvd drive. ive looked everywhere for an answer, but came up empty. any solutions please?? im about to use this little thing as a frisbee at this point lol. thanks in advance
