Solve : XP Install Issue? |
|
Answer» I have a dell dimension 4100, it did have 2k on it till a while ago since it had kept freezeing for some reason. The thing is that I put the disk in an it doesnt see it or anything an the BIOS is setup to boot to A: then the cd drive. Its a xp pro 1a 2002 version of xp.Okay, well LET's try putting the cd ahead of the floppy drive in boot order in the bios and see if that helps. It is an original retail XP CD, yes?Do other bootable disks work?GO to bios and set the cd drive as your first boot DEVICE..Yes, which is the wierd thing. It works in other MACHINES that are nondell. I have it set that way but it still didnt show that. Yes thoe not sure why this disk isnt.Any other idea's then???If the cd is at the top of the boot order and if you are using an original, retail xp cd, then it has to work. Try to clean the cd..

But.. you gave up. So maybe NEXT time.huh? no, I just reinstalled 2k at that point |
