Hi,
I want to format my harddisc & install Windows XP.
I changed the booting priority to boot from CD first in BIOS setup.
Still I couldn't boot from CD.
My boot priority is like shown below
1st CD/DVD:
2nd IDE-0:WDC WD400BB-OOJHAO
3rd Floppy:1.44MB 3 1/2
4th Disabled
Try other Boot Devices Yes
Please Help.......
Jump to Postis it a recovery disc or is it a actual XP CD?
is it a recovery disc or is it a actual XP CD?
It ia a actual XP cd only
make the boot sequence Cd then HDD only.
Also go to the HDD manufacture site and get there Util to zero write and then install the XP.
Sorry that is not a bootable CD.
Now I got a bootable XP cd from my friend.
The CD drive found a bootable XP cd but now it is opening in DR-DOS prompt.
Its like shown below
[DR-DOS]A:\>
I typed as
G: (my cd drive letter)
cd i386
winnt.exe
But it says
An internal setup error has occured
Could not find a place for a swap file
