This software wil not fix any real software problems. My big issue with this programs is there is no one-click fix for everything. It was also not help with the installation of Windows XP.

I did it on my netbook HP Mini 210 with win7 Starter.First you need a XP installation CD. Before the installation, you find the drivers of your laptop (in my case, Google search "drivers XP hp mini 210" give me this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&tmp_geoLoc=true&product=4099578)You run the installation CD. Anwer the questions. Easy. Then you install the driver (hopefully they are ".exe", it's easier... ).Then you have a brand new PC !Note that there is perfect compatibility between win7 and XP : http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/virtual-pc/download.aspxAlso, have you thought about using Ubuntu? It's free and there's no driver troubles involved !

Not All Of Them It doesn't support apple drives but it comes with the system drives and you can't use windows apps without play on linux an you sometimes cant use your own that is in the list so Ubuntu and linux are the same but boring so don't download it is annoying and i have it and its annoying aswell.

Yes, if you have a good Windows XP key and a installation disk.
