Hi,
so i just bought a new 320gb sata hd (after my old IDE hd, which i had my windows installation on, died). After booting with the windows xp cd, i created 2 partitions, one 100gb partition (to install the os on), and one 200gb partition.
After choosing the 100gb partition for installation, it formatted it (i chose the normal format), it copied the installation files and restarted. After the restart, i wait for the "press enter to boot from dvd" to pass, and afterwars itll stall on the black command screen (where the little white underline keeps blinking), and it'll just stay there indefinitely, and won't start the installation.
What am i doing wrong, should i have done something else to install windows on a new hd? i am completely lost, i have installed windows about 1 million times and never ran into something like this.
