    i ended up formatting my hard-drive cos i thought it may be that but it wasn't

    it does get detected but what happens is when i start installing XP it does everything like normal then when it copies files it takes about 20 minutes cos it copies a load of extra software. when it restarts to do the proper installing with the splash screen telling me how great life will be i get "error loading operating system

    Nice.

    Didn't want to steal the credits so I had to dig through hardwareworld to find his topic

    's why I asked about an older OS, 'cos it's an NT thing, according to lynx.

    But I remembered that wrong, 'cos it still wouldn't have booted, it'd just said it couldn't install with an older os I think
