WELCOME TO CTH
Need more info. 1. What size hard drive is it? The easiest way is not use the cd that came with the drive. Reboot, immediately hit the DEL key to get into BIOS (SETUP) - or whatever key the screen tells you to use to get into SETUP. Once in setup find and change the boot sequence so it boots from the CDROM 1st (save & Exit) Have the Windows XP CD in, it will boot from it. Floowing the screen and XP will partition, format the hard drive and install itself. |
