Setup Disks Problem
Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance
I downloaded the file for creating the 6 diskettes for starting setup from
the floppy drive. Disk #1 works fine. The problem occurs after I insert
Disk #2 as instructed on the screen. Although I press Enter, as instructed,
the PC locks up and does nothing else. Not even F3 to exit works!
P.S. I tried changing BIOS to have my CD-ROM drive be the one used for
booting the PC. Either I do not have a bootable drive or the CD-ROM for
Windows XP is not bootable. (The CD-ROM is a Dell Reinstallation CD for XP
Pro that includes Service Pack 1.)
Help!!! I want to start over and re-format the hard drive, then reload
Windows XP Pro. The hard drive is so messed up that I cannot download any
anti-virus updates!
