Hi all
ok so I bought a new PC from Mesh Computers about a month ago.. It connected to the Internet but because it was Windows Vista I was having compatibility issues with online programs that I use frequently.
So - I decided to reformat and install XP over it without taking the proper precautions. I did so and when it had reformatted and installed XP I got the error;
Disk read error
CTRL ALT DEL to restart
I'm guessing this means that windows cannot locate the HDD(?) I then retried installing with no luck.
My next idea was to go back to vista and try again with a dual boot so I got my Windows Vista recovery disc and installed it but now even Vista won't run - it asks me to locate the necessary drivers before running..
I have been phoning Mesh frequently but the support team do not speak fluent english and are difficult to understand. They also don't seem to have much idea of what they're talking about.
If anyone could give me some suggestions or support it would be appreciated.
Ty,
