Kuky Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Restart PC, get into BIOS (press DEL or F2) and in BIOS make sure in boot settings you have CD/DVD selected as first boot device... save BIOS setting and reboot and leave XP CD in CD/DVD drive... when it asks you to "press any key to boot from CD..." you know what to do ;) Follow rest of installation prompts... 1 No longer active in DCS...

Panzertard Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Kuky gave you the right option if your CD is an original Microsoft CD. If you have burned your own XP cd it is possible that you may not have the correct "boot information" - then you may use the alternative method here; - You can start "setup" from your previous Windows XP - if you are on the desktop, insert the CD and then go to the CD drive in your Windows Explorer - and doubleclick the Setup there. The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emenance Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1201760.htm this thread sums up what I would say, could be hardware related, your HD may be failed, or problem with cpu and or memory, this can cause a failed install or an install that will not complete.
