    Hello,
    I recently got my Dell Inspiron 1501 and I have FreeDOS. I installed Windows XP, but at some point, when i turned my laptop on, it said "No operating system found". So i tried to reinstall windows. I managed to do that, but when i got to finishing the installation (the second time you have to reboot, after you typed in the serial key) my laptop froze during the boot: the blinker kept on blinking but nothing happened. I tried to reinstall windows, but this time the same thing happened but after the first reboot (after the files have been copied to my hard).
    I ran the test in Dell Diagnostics and it was successful.
    Can someone tell me how to install Windows XP Pro, please. I tried both 64 bits and 32 bits versions, but I didn't manage.
    Thank you.
