Does anyone know if this works? My laptop has gone up the wall big time and I can't find my xp disks.

Thanks

Danny.

Tried Wine?

? Blonde moment.

'Wine Is Not an Emulator' or 'WINdows Emulator' depending on which backronym you prefer - see http://www.winehq.org - works well for some apps, and worth a go. You should find it in the Ubuntu Software Centre.

    Sounds good. Off to sainsburys I go!

    XP iso files are widly available on the internet, especially if you have a valid licence; although personally I prefer TinyXP as it cuts out a lot of the dross, making XP smaller and faster.

    If you didn't solve this with wine, then you can install KVM (Virtualisation) and then install a windows XP or 7 (whichever you have a licence for) Virtual Machine and only use it for odd things that don't work outside of windows.
