Problems installing XP
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Boopster on 13 Apr 2010 15:48 I previously had both windows xp and windos 2000 on one comp. I have tried reformatting and just getting xp on it. I have a disk, and it goes through to the reboot after the first part of install. After it reboots, it starts over from the beginning of the disk. I can't seem to get any further. Any suggestions? -- Boop

Can you describe this "disk" in greater detail?

Any suggestions? Duh! You told your computer to boot from the CD as the first choice. Take the CD out of the drive when it tells you it is re-booting.

Sorry, I gues that may have helped. I have the disk for Windows Xp Home. -- Boop "Pegasus [MVP]" wrote: > > > "Boopster" <Boopster(a)msn.com> wrote in message > news:0E4EACBB-9E45-4E81-AA79-669C872D856B(a)microsoft.com... > > I previously had both windows xp and windos 2000 on one comp.
