you could put a newer windowz on it, but wuld recommend sticking with 2000 cos its pretty stable and less bloat.ed than xp. if the laptop is recent enuff it might run XP fine tho..but win2000 with latest services pauks shud be able to do everything XP can
is that what you were axing?

Yeah, I probbly want windows 2000000 still. But given there is a sticker on the bottom of the cumputer, does that mean this windows 2000 is still on the computer in some sort of extra reinstallable partition (so when I put the new hard drive in, I can just install to a fresh windows without buying another copy of windows).. or does the sticker mean win2000 is on the hard drive, and so changing hard drives would require a new operating system purchase, werd.
ps. Thanks for the TECH help *thumbs up*

the sticker just means that the computer came with this operating system installed already, and that it's the recommended one to use on yer machine.
there are no hidden compartments hiding the OS im afraid, have you still got yer install/recovery cds? its best to use these, as they carry any extra drivers ur notebook needs

The OS (Windows 2000) is there in the case, but it could be anywhere. Inside the vents on the power supply, underneath the motherboard, snugly inside a RAM slot, etc. Open your case and coax it out with some tuna or haddock then quickly grab it and stick it in the SATA power port on the back of the hard drive.
