    Not able to install windows xp on HP Compaq tc4400

    What is the size of the HDD in your case and have you checked out if it is having enough space to install xp as you have mentioned it is running windows xp currently, just check it out and then let me know what you get.

    I don’t think that this is an issue related to the space as in my case I am having a 120 hard drive and I think that the xp should be within the partition and as far as the partition is concerned, I have divided 80 for xp and the left is for linux, so there are not possibilities of any issue because of the space and all, I think that this is due to some kind of driver issue as I am just having the tc1100xp tablet pc edition sp2 recovery disc and there are possibilities that it might be not having all the required drivers.

    I just wanted to know if the hard drive is new or old?? And as far as the drier is concerned you can get it from the hp site, if you are willing to install xp then you will have to start from theb scratch I mean that first you will have to format you 120 gig drive with a program like partition manager, you can get the drivers from the below site:

    I also wanted to know that when you were trying to install Windows XP then did it asked you for any key or it just got loaded up, just answer the same for further help.

    Thanks for your help but then how will I use those drivers if I am not able to install xp, I mean that it is just not booting and I am not able to get to the driver stage, the other thing that I have found is that bios was not updated with the latest update and it is not able to find out the matching rom family as well, I have checked out the HP driver support page and it is listing a rom family but then I don’t know why I am not getting it on tablet, what should I do now??
