Ok,
i had a computer:
255 MB Ram
1.3GHz

it's a old computer but i still need it for work.
Recently i installed a new hard drive because the other one was stolen.. now the new hard drive asks me to insert a boot disk.
So i insert the Windows XP Pro cd that is installed on that hard drive.. then i click where it says:
"Click any button to boot from the CD" and it says "Configuring system blablabla" then it just shut down.


then i clicked F8 from the begining and "disabled AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN on system failure".. now instead of shutting down it gives this error:
"Hard drive is corrupt, has virus or is not properly connected" (SOMETHING like this)

i tried 2 different hard drives and nothing... any help with this?

thanks in advance!Since Win98 you cannot simply move Windows HDD's from one machine to another and expect them to boot properly ....
What is it you WANT to accomplish with this machine ? ?

256 Mg of RAM ain't much for an XP machine...Quote from: patio on July 17, 2009, 07:38:07 AM
