So...I have a DELL laptop, had a problem with XP on it and could not find the reinstallation CD before, so i installed Fedora 7 on it...everything is good, but now that I got reinstallation CD back from DELL (FINALLY!!!), i'm trying to install XP Home Edition SP2.
So, i went to BIOS and changed settings to boot from CD-Rom, screen comes up "Click any buttong to boot from CD...."...i do that...and that's it...HDD light lights up and system just stands on that black screen...i thought maybe it takes a bit, waited for at least 10-15 minutes...still nothing...can anyone tell me, how do i get it to boot so that i can install XP Home on my laptop..or do i need to do full formatting of the drive, if yes, how do i format it in Fedora 7?
Thank you for your help in advance
