Compaq Presario R3360US Clean Install by gweldgen
I am looking at a new CP R3360US laptop from Best Buy. I would like to wipe out the hard drive and clean install XP Pro. Does anyone know if XP will be able to produce the drivers for this laptop?? Any other reasons not to do this?? I don't want all of the preloaded garbage.
