Fujitsu-Siemens sells their laptops with operating system installed, so if you want to buy it XP installed you should specify the operating system you want when ordering your laptop.

Now I cannot figure out exactly what is the problem. I understood that you try to boot from Windows XP installation CD and it does not work.

To be honest, I would not mess around with a brand new laptop, I would just use it for 3 years while it is still good and start playing when it becomes old and tired...

I still don't understand WHY you want to install operating system again? If you want to install new hardware, there is no need to install operating system.

If there is something wrong with the laptop and the operating system, you can just take it back to the dealer and ask them to fix any problem you have.

Fujitsu-Siemens laptops are professional quality laptops. I know it because I am using F-S laptop in my office and I am very happy with it.

If you buy a plastic, squeqing, rattling, smelling cheapo laptop with warranty as long as taillights are visible, you are propably going to hate the piece in 6 months.

Well, this is the way I would go in your shoes, but of course final choice depends on how they treat you at the service desk.

I had this problem with my amilo 7010. When booting from the Windows CD try pressing 'F5' , it will ask you what kind of setup you want (Standard or Other) choose standard and hey presto!

Let me know if this works.
