I inherited a systemax CPU, trying to do clean install of Windows '98/ XP/ anything.
Have done before on Dell, using directions listed on this site: "Tutorial: How to reformat your hard drive and install/reinstall Windows"
Changed BIOS to boot from CD first. This BIOS looks different then my Dell. Would a screen print help?
Get error message atapi cd-rom: failure and then boots from HD and goes straight to Windows ME.
Any suggestions?
I am a very basic user, I can follow directions but I am definitely not a techy.
