I've had both big toenails chopped on both sides thanks to ingrowing nails. One time they ran out of anesthetic because my body didn't respond to it. They had slightly less then the allowed maximum for a male. Not a fan of having a huge needle inserted into my toe. Easily the least comfortable bit :I.

I had that shit once. My podiatrist cut the edge which was grown in, gave me some sort of toe nail brace which prevented the nail from growing back in again and after ~6 weeks i could take it off again. The whole procedure wasn't painful at all.

Those things. Try them.
 
Neighbour had a '4 year old' laptop and asked if I could put Win7 on that thing. Said that wouldn't go down all too well since it's a 1.6GHz single core Celeron M chip with 1GB of RAM (Win7 requires 2 minimum).

Installation didn't go smoothly at all and it kept freezing. After finally booting the the PC froze on the desktop and it took literally well over 10 minutes to go to Google using IE8.

Tried to install XP back on it but the PC didn't even recognize the install CD, not even after formatting the Win7 drive so I had to re-install Windows 7.

Then got the brilliant idea to install Elementary OS on there which only asks for .5GB RAM, but that didn't even support the CPU, which isn't even 32bit apparenty.

I had to do that with my aunt's laptop a few weeks ago, ended up having to find my sisters old broken laptop in the garage to salvage 2GB of ram for the upgrade. I don't envy your position, this "no support" for XP thing, while totally valid on MS' part, is really annoying.

I did the same with a old IBM Thinkpad, I couldn't for the life of me get XP back on it after the 7 install, but after much head scratching I threw Ubuntu 8.10 on it then XP after perfectly ;)
 
hardwell is coming to malta on the 25th of june for the largest open party we have every year (roughly 50k people attend, mainly cause its free, which means 1/8th of our population lol) and I have an important exam on the 26th, I guess life hates me :(
 
I have the task of putting xp on an old dell, ill probably just stick Linux lite on it and if they don't like it ill put windows 7 or 8 on.

Its not that old but its still pretty old, its a dell vostro something or other, i can't even get a monitor hooked up to it since i don't have any hdmi or dvi cables spare so i need to pinch my little brothers hdmi cable when hes at school to put it on or ill put the hdd in my pc and install it that way. I was given the PC a week ago so i should probably get a shift on haha
