no photoshop 5 with XP?

Is Windows XP compatible with photoshop 5? I'm affraid this might be what crashed my harddrive. I never check the system requirement and just assume it would work with XP. Or maybe its because its a burned copy?

Now i have to get my Harddrive replace

i can't even get in windows XP. The computer gives me "SATA hardrive failure drive 0" message. And its making a funny sound! Can anyone make sense to any of this?

It's most likely the harddrive failure...which is a mechanical failure if it's making strange noises...and the installation of Photoshop is pure coincidence.

I've installed and run Photoshop 5 on XP with no problems.

Can you give more details about the error, like when it happens, does it happen in the post boot? was it a fresh install of windows on the new hard drive? please give more details

i think your right Miz, funny coincidence. The guy at Dell told me the same thing, it happens i guess. I got my replacement harddrive today, i'll let you know how things went..

He was saying they might have put the wrong technology(hardrive) in the computer, a 160GB hardrive..and my window was telling me there was only 145 GB of space..a internal failure...
