I just had my HD replaced, and am trying to reinstall Windows XP. I've got it in my CD drive, turned on the machine, and got the "boot failed: system halted" right away. That's all that appears on the screen. No setup screen or anything.
I'm using a Dell desktop...
I've tried holding F8, using the spacebar...nothing.
I can follow directions, know a little bit, but this isn't giving me a chance to even start.
Any advice would be a great help. Would like to get this machine up and running as the kids are starting school again.
Thanks,
Shannon
