    New here and need help please

    I have an old Dell C640 which I am trying to boost up rather than throw it away it does for travelling, surfing the net etc...

    Specs:
    1GB Memory
    Zorin OS
    120GB HDD
    2.0 GHz CPU
    CDRW (wanting a DVDRW)

    Bios A10.

    What I would like to know is there a mod for Booting with USB Support or for Win7 to Run on it

    If so, how? ..noob

    Thanks

    Im stumped, as I need to put Win7 onto a USB as it wont fit onto CD as image is to big.

    How do I use that link to put the file onto so that this Dell can see it ??
    Which one do I follow?

    A++ Thanks so much for that, it worked

    Is there a modded bios (better one than A10) for the Dell C640 for usb to be included at boot?

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Noop... A10 is the last available bios & it can't be modded to include USB boot (afaik).
