Hey all im new to the boards....
I need help ASAP, if anyone could help me out with my problem then it's be much appreciated...
Right... today my computer thought it would restart itself....upon restarting itself, it continued to load the windows xp screen and just before the username screen...it just crashed, ive tried several things (safe mode and all that jazz) to get it up and running but to no avail!
ive inserted and installed another hard drive, complete with windows 98 (Yay)..i then went onto install windows xp on the hard drive...
it was going fine, until it all went wrong..the counter got to *approx 19 mins left* and it just froze although the little loading screen in the bottom right hand corner of the screen continued to go on, and the *info screen* still done its job....but the *approx 19 mins left* counter still froze for a good 10 - 15 mins i had to then restart the comp.
I then trye it 3 times after that but to no avail....ive been told to just boot the windows xp disc from the BIOS settings..
first boot: CD-ROM
second boot:IDE-0
Then disable all the rest?
then save settings and reboot...ive done all this till im sick and tired..and still no wiped hard drive!!
now then can someone help me....i need help like right now if thats possible
i have no time to wait for a reply on here, this is urgent...
i have a mobile number to catch me on though : 07706228018 and my names Carl
thanks soooo much!
