help needed Want to remove Windows7

[theog]

Did you activate it and if so how?

From what I see from HP web site PC may of come with Win7.

I don't have floppy drive, only CD. And the laptop comes with SusE, not Win7. I installed Win7 first, before to install the SusE, i think there was auto installation or something like this. About the link you provided me -http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sear...ntel%c2%ae+RST

It says to open xxxx.exe for 32bit (my system) or xxxx.exe for 64bit system, but there is no exe when i extracted the files.

Unzip download. use the files in side folder.

 

[silverrrr]

Should i open it from My Computer > Downloads > zzzz (the folder where i exctacted the files), because i still don't have the files.

 

[theog]

In your screenshot you have all the files needed.

F6flp32.exe , can't see this file.

************************************************************

If you have a 64-bit system, use F6flp64.exe.
If you have a 32-bit system, use F6flp32.exe.

I don't get this error when i tried to install Windows XP, should i do this? Just asking for confirmation, thanks for your time!

The OS you install, is your choose.
If it was me, I would install Win 7.

theog, I don't have original Windows7 CD and made update incidently. + I can't run some programs that i rarely use. I prefer WindowsXP, because i have long expirience with it.
