Hello,
Everyone, I wanted to know is there any other operating system i can boot on my computer because I cant afford the original windows xp os re-installation DVD right now and my laptop (Dell D600) wont boot at all. So is there another operating system I can install like Ubuntu or anything else? Or is there nothing I can do with it? I don't have any files i want to save on it or anything I just want a laptop that works it doesn't matter what operating system it runs on. Im just not sure how it works. Like can i put a virtual pc or something on it? I just don't want it to pay a lot of money because I cant afford to.

I wanted to repair the system with the Windows XP CD-ROM but I'm not given the option to repair. After it starts all the devices needed, i'm presented with the partitions I have on my PC to choose in which to install windows, if I pick one I can format and install or just install.

Is there a way to run a repa...
