hi,
Can any one guide me in my small problem?
recently I changed my operating system from windows xp to Fedora 8 .
now, when I am trying reinstall windows xp, after reading the cd (click any button to boot from CD), its showing blank screen and nothing happens.
The system is IBM THINKPAD X60s.
again i tried with IBM recovery cd and same thing happens.
PLS. some help .....
Do you know, whether any special properties of the Thinkpad,
rely on the contents of the MBR ? Perhaps when Fedora
was installed, and the MBR was rewritten, it upset
some quirk of the Thinkpad ?
Normally, you'd expect the CD should boot, rather than
having no response at all. You could still have problems
installing, but at the very least, the Windows installer
CD should start to boot.
The Thinkpads, do have potential security options, and it is
hard to guess what side effects that might have on the "general usage"
of the computer. Some of the security features are of the
"shoot yourself in the foot" variety, because to reset the
passwords may involve some expense. So I hope it isn't
something like that.
