Hello guys my girlfriend bought today a packard bell dot s n2600 netbook with linpus lite operating system.
I formated it and i installed windows 7 32 bit.
My problem is that i cant install none of the drivers and i dont know what to do!!!
Is there any posibility that this netbook should work only with the manufacturer's operating system???
Help me please... ;(

Under the Forum FAQ:
"5. Ask for help pirating, cracking passwords, or bypassing copyright protection"

Asking for help in getting a pirated copy up and running would seem to fall under this.
If someone else wants to help you , that's on them.


Ultimate or Home probably doesn't matter. Get the needed drivers and try it.
 




Idid what you said and nothing happened!!! it says that it couldn't find any of this "atheros" for example or " broadcom"
;(

 


OK...let's back up a couple of steps.
1. Packard Bell laptop, originally with a Linux variant, Linpus.
2. Installed Windows 7 32 bit. Is this a valid, legal, windows installation?
...
 




No it isn't but this is not a problem cause i have installed them before in several machines and work perfect !
 


Well...until you get a legal Windows install, your options for assistance here are very limited.
As in none.
 





So you provide assistant only with legal copies?? didn't know that..
