Solve : new hard drive w. xp installed but won't boot? |
|
Answer» Okay, I just got a shiny new hard DRIVE but when I FORMATTED it and installed windows xp on it it does nothing. It I try to just BOOT up like normal it will just show the dell for a second and go to a black screen. It will PRETEND to read the disk for hours until I shut it off. I've created a single large partition and installed xp on it already but when I try to install xp on it it tells me that that I shouldn't install 2 operating systems on 1 drive so I assume that the first time I installed it, it installed correctly. I've tried changing the boot order so that the hard drive boots before the CD or anything else. I've also tried a repair and couldn't figure that out. I've even reformatted and reinstalled xp once. Please, what am I missing or where did I go wrong. Thanks, Boots Did you remember to set the drive or first partition as active when you set it up ? ? |
