Solve : PC wont boot to CD? |
|
Answer» recently i downloaded Windows XP SP3 and was going to BOOT that from Vista...it workwed fine then i decided to go to Ubuntu 9.04, i hated it so i booted my PC back to Vista...and tried to get back to XP now what it does is boots a black screen and shows a line that looks like a command prompt cursor and boots right back to Vista...why does it do that and how do i fix it? i changed the boot order to both of my CD drives at different times...didn't t work... i downloaded Windows XP SP3You downloaded it??yesSince you changed the Boot order you might want to have a Closer Look in your Bios and make sure that CD Rom is still the first entry. Even if theres a Broken Boot loader on your HDD it may be found and attempt to Start which would stop it from Trying the CD Rom After all that swapping and changing i would recommend that you Format your Disks as wellThere is no legal way to download Windows, and this TOPIC should be closed.If one has a licence for Vista and they Chose to use XP on said machine instead of Vista you are covered for the use Of XP under Microsofts Terms of Service And Downloading XPs not illegal. with out knowing what Licences he Possesses we do not know weather he has done anything illegal or not There are no Judges here. Quote If one has a licence for Vista and they Chose to use XP on said machine instead of Vista you are covered for the use Of XP under Microsofts Terms of ServiceSource, PLEASE. Quote And Downloading XPs not illegal.Since when? I'm sorry, I must have missed some news... Quote If one has a licence for Vista and they Chose to use XP on said machine instead of Vista you are covered for the use Of XP under Microsofts Terms of Service I was not aware that licenses were "backward compatible." I did not think that a license for XP would cover Windows 2000, for example.They are and this is Off-topic Now you have learned SOMETHING new Downloading service packs is fine - but service packs are add-ons to the established operating system. They do not contain the operating system, itself. Quote recently i downloaded Windows XP SP3 The poster has opened by stating he has downloaded Windows XP Service Pack 3. If this is not what he meant, than he should state what he means. I, too, would like to see a source which explains "backward compatibility" of licensing in the Windows world. This isn't Linux.I'm argumentative so I get off Topic sometimes. Ish why i stoped Posting here way back when Regardless Were not here to Judge people just to help them , Said poster never said he didn't have a Windows Xp Licence Also he never said he had a Vista one either http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx Windows Downgrade Rights As i Said Its in the Windows EULA its Also In my Books MCSE Training Kit Microsoft Windows For MCSE Exams 70-210 70-215 70-216 70-217 (For the Windows 2000 Platform) Published by MicroSoft Press ISBM 1-57231-901-1 Author Rick Wallace In the chapter on Licencing of Microsoft Products [attachment deleted by admin] |
