There has to be a better answer than this.. if I were to buy one of
these scanners from you and I couldn't get it to work on any of my
machines other than by doing the solution below, I would be asking for
my money back.

Did HP tech support have any comments about this?

Stupid cunt, how does installing windows 95 relate in any way whatsoever to
XP?

Wait until he tries to install anything USB on Win95 USB support. I 
feel a "This version of Windows is not Compatible" driver installation 
error coming on..

Hopefully he got the message with my "BWAHAHAHAHHA!!!"

Good troll, but badly executed.

And I might expect it...lol

Remember I am trying to test several dozen scanners, and the problem doesn't
happen until at least the 10th or so install.

Sorry if I was not so clear to you.

Yes they did:

Apparently this is common with resellers and they are working on a solution.

Also FYI

I have sold over 100 scanners in my small business in the last 6 months and
only 2 have come back.  One wanted a refund and the other a replacement.

why not just burn a CD of the working install and save all the bother with
partitions?

OK, so Im understanding the solution is to keep clear of HP scanners and 
their resellers because either the product is half assed badly supported 
or their resellers are useless sobs.

Cross posting again, damn me.
