Solve : How to have cd startup? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi, <br/><br/>I downloaded Xp pro and burned it onto a cd. Now what? I tried to just boot off of it and it just did a normal boot. I used the 6 xp setup floppies and it says it's only for xp home.<br/><br/>Thanks very much for your help today.You don't give a lot of info. What have you actually downloaded - an .iso? a full zipped version or what?. When you say you can only get a 'normal boot' - are you trying to upgrade an existing version of 'home' or are you trying to install to a clean drive - have you got the boot priority set to boot from CD first? If you are installing Pro you don't need the floppies - they are boot disks for a system already installed. If you do manage to install it, you will still need to activate it - a previous version of home will <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/lose-537625" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOSE">LOSE</a> its own activation status, & if you use a 'crack' you'll have problems downloading necessary updates.Set your first boot device to CD-ROM in the BIOS and insert the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a> XP CD-ROM. <br/><br/>I suggest you obtain a legal copy of Windows..Hi, it is an ISO file. It is xp pro. I want it to run multi boot with xp home. <br/><br/>Its supposed to boot from the cd. It is an image file.<br/><br/>Thanks for the help!Hi I don't think I need to set the Bios to boot from the cd, I have other cd's that automatically boot from the cd.<br/>I am waiting a reply from their tech support.<br/>Thank you!info><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/multiboot.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/multiboot.mspx</a>If it is an image file, you will have to use a copying program such as Nero or Alcahol 120% to burn it to a CD first. Donot copy the image, use the option that allows you to use the image to create a proper disk.Hi, I used Nero (the site I got xp pro from gave it to you for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/free-240724" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FREE">FREE</a>). From Nero I choose "disc image or saved project" (record a disc from disc image previously burned<br/>onto the hard drive).<br/>It burned it ok. <br/>I changed the rom bios to have the cd <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/rw-615683" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RW">RW</a> be the first to boot from. <br/>When I boot it reads the cd and then just continues on with a normal boot to windows...<br/>Is this supposed to boot up on its own or go into a startup mode to install xp pro? Ive never done this before and all help is much appreciated.<br/>It is supposed to enter the setup, yes. <br/><br/>You may require Windows XP bootdisks. Obtain these from <a href="http://www.bootdisk.de">http://www.bootdisk.de</a>Hi, Thanks Raptor. I downloaded a bootdisk for xp pro and it gave me 4 files, each too big to put on a floppy.<br/>I suppose I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/could-410026" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COULD">COULD</a> put it on a cd, is that what I should do?You should place them on floppies in case your BIOS does not support your CD-drive to boot from. <br/><br/>I noticed that you are posting in two topics. I understand that you did not properly copy the .ISO. You will have to do so in order for it to work. Burning the .ISO on a CD will not work, you sort of have to 'unpack' it so you can see each of the folders rathern than only having the .ISO file on a CD..info><a href="http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/">http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/</a> and is this iso an upgrade?><a href="http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxppro/installxpmsdos/part1.htm">http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxppro/installxpmsdos/part1.htm</a> and more info><a href="http://www.undisker.com/disk-images.html">http://www.undisker.com/disk-images.html</a> it may have been easier in the long run to buy it from a store.. Quote</p><blockquote>it may have been easier in the long run to buy it from a store..</blockquote> <br/><br/>Especially when it comes to something as important as an Operating System.see other post...scammed ....get you dough back of your credit card company pronto...Yes I hear you, it probably would have been better to buy it at a store but the difference in price ($200) seem to make it a worthwhile venture.<br/><br/>This is not an upgrade, but simply an Xp pro o/s.<br/>Thanks for your great help!</body></html> | |
