I am having a problem installing xp on my laptop.
I have the original disk (OEM) of windows XP home.
I can not get it to go beyond “checking hardware...” on the laptop. I have a second machine and the installation runs all the way through the setup process, so I know the disk is good. I have an original of Windows 2000 so I tried that on the laptop and it installed ok, so I know the cd drive is ok. I have made backup copies of the XP disk same story. nothing beyond “checking hardware...” this is the OS that was on the laptop before I installed the new drive. (same drive configuration) not sure what I can do. Is there a bios setting I could try?
Thanks
