In March 2001 drkoop.com laid me off and a Latitude CS was more or less part of my severance package. In 2005 I gave it (plus a PCMCIA WiFi card) to a friend. At that point I had an external optical drive for it, but there was a hardware defect between the drive and the laptop itself, so I couldn’t upgrade it to XP via the normal route at the time.
I feel like I remember trying to put the hard drive in an external controller and ghost XP onto it, but this may be something I tried with a different machine in 2006. Wondering if there was a way to upgrade the Latitude in 2005 without an optical drive?
