I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-402SA, I have just completed a full clean install of Windows7, after the last install, the laptop went really really slow.
But its no different now, it takes for ever to do anything, if am typing a word document, it takes about 10 mins to type 10 words.
I have had it now with windows7.
I tried to install windows xp, but just get blue screen of death, about 2mins in to install.
I have since found out that windows xp can not be installed on this laptop.
Any one know a decent reliable pc shop, that can get xp on this for me.
I have my own xp disc with product key.

Mark this forums master sorted both my friends and my laptop out very efficently and for a very good price. highly recommend I think this laptop is ready for the bin, I've only had it 2 yrs, its never been out of house, and its never been from under tv, as its connected to tv via hdmi cable. Its amazing how fast they go down hill, I personally think the best place for it is in the bin.

It wont install xp, due to me only having service pack 2 on my xp install disc, and service pack 2 does not have the sata drivers, i have been informed. And in bios its listed as windows 7 pre installed.
Am on verge of binning it, and buying a desktop.

You have to completely uninstall windows 7 before going back down to windows XP. Otherwise you will get the blue screen. Hope this helps. Make a backup and start up disc and then uninstall win 7 then try installing XP. I put laptop hdd in caddy, formated hdd, put in laptop, and tried to install xp, did not work.
