I want to smash my PC

I've worked it out lol

Before, I inserted the Dell XP disk 'after' booting my PC and loading the old Windows XP installation..

What I did this time was go to BIOS and change the Master Drive to CDROM. When the PC booted it went into set up and all the options that game1283 suggested were finally present ( they were not there before). Mental Note.. don't try and fix your PC after getting tanked at your local pub!

Thanks for your help game1283. I'll remember to take time out to help other N00bs when the time comes :)

:)

nice to see your sorted

I'd just reformat and start fresh if its really messed up
