Hi-
I think that I just made a $250 mistake- please tell me otherwise.
I got a little trigger happy on ebay and won a IBM Netvista 63U 8307 with no OS installed just the COA sticker and the hd has been wiped. Now that I check out the manual, it looks like the these computers come configured in a dreaded proprietary configuration (essential system data are stored in a special partition). Does anybody have any experience with these IBM Netvista's? Do you have to use the propietary config or can you just do a normal XP install and dispense with all the drama?
TIA,
Trey
