    Is it suposed to have an o/s on it?
    Most don't and in the days of w98 lots would just boot to the c promt
    Boot it up again
    At the C: type in dir
    C:dir
    And report back whats on the list

    white cabrio,
    If you insist on running XP on a MK1 CF-27 you'll have to hope the NT touchscreen driver will work, its the latest. Look on the driver manual sticky, its there!
