I knew that, but it suddenly occurred to me, the drive on the laptop is just a CD.
CRAP! Talk about a rookie mistake. Maybe I should turn my A+ certification in humiliation.
Ah well, guess I'll have to some fancy footwork with partitioning and install from a partition. That or spend some more bucks to find a DVD for this old Armada E500.
