Hello,
Today i bought a New PC. It didn't have any OS installed so when i try putting the WinXP disk it doesn't work. It asks me for a boot floopy or somethin. I have my other PC Boot Disk so Inserted it. This is what is says:
Searchin for Boot Record from Floopy............OK
Remove disks or other media.
Press any Key to restart.
When i press any key...the PC doesn't restart. What's happening here?? How do i install a OS on my new Pc?
Please advice!
Thnx for ur time,
Cheers :-)
Well if u want to install Xp just boot it up off the disk
I tried doing that....but i get this message:Quote:

go into the bios.
1. is the cd drive detected?
2. is it in the boot order? also make sure it is first on the list.

I don't know but nothing seems to be working.....
I checked bios...CD drive is there...also it's on #1.
This PC has only 1 CD drive so i guess I'm in da right drive!
the cd IS bootable, right?
I lost da Actual winxp disk so I downloaded winxp-Pro Corp-sp2 edition and tried booting with that disk……I also tried booting with original System Recovery disk…but nothing seemed to work!
ya dat was it. The CD that i was trying to install Winxp was not bootable....I got another CD which is bootable, did the job for me.Quote:

Congrats getting it working.
Congratulations, is it possible to make the xp you download bootable?
not sure abt that......I downloaded winxp pro, it said in the description that this is a bootable CD. So I just burnt it on da CD and worked like a charm!Quote:
