First time I am hearing of this. --- End quote --- I start to think I made a mistake. From my old posts it seems the TLA715 can run Windows XP. I started my TLA715 (for the first time in 3 years or so) and it runs Windows XP indeed. In my old post I also warned about the removable drive bay; these are prone to problem so mount the hard drive internally. |

It's functional on my system, so I won't necessarily stop using it, however, I also have an mSATA SSD and an adapter to 2.5" 44-pin IDE that I intend to put XP on along with updated versions of the TLA software as I've read elsewhere (supposedly, the drivers for the modules are included with the TLA software, and some places say version 5.1 works with it, others say 5.6 and even version 6, but I've also been told that versions above 5.1 need firmware updates to the modules to make them work). I'll hopefully end up mounting the mSATA drive internally, but I want to get past the installation of the software first. If something doesn't work, my intent is to keep the removable hard drive bay on hand so that if something goes awry, I can simply put the old drive back in it and it should be fine. |
