Hi!
I've run into a strange problem: I'm trying to install windows XP on an old computer (Pentium 3). I boot from the CD, creates a partition and windows tells me that the necessary files are copied to the hdd. Then it reboots, and I get a message saying "Missing operating system".
I thought maybe there was something wrong with my CD, but when I tried with Windows 2000 the same thing happened. "Missing operating system".
Any ideas how to solve this?
BTW, I tried to install Windows 98, and that worked fine. But I was unable to update to windows XP from within Win98.
