| ok I followed this.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307848 and you can just skip down to [SIZE=3]--Starting the Windows XP Setup program at a command prompt--[/SIZE] and if you read step 8, it say that my computer should restart and resume the XP setup, BUTTT.. It's not, now I have Vista on here so I'm thinkin that it's becuz they run different MBR (Master Boot Record) but idk, does anyone know how to get around this.. or what i should do, all the setup files are just sittin on my other partition.. is there a way i can just load that up? (and I've already tried to VistaBootPRO and chose to run off of that drive but doesn't work... just restarts the computer!!!) what should I do? Can a maybe make a bootable floppy that supports hard drives and tell it what to boot up off of that hard drive?? Just someone help.. I've been tryin to install XP for like 4 days STRAIGHT.. NO SLEEP.. NOTHIN (well maybe some sleep but then I'm back on the computer again)!!!:D ![]() loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); Last edited by Dave Hybrid : 22nd May 2007 at 03:03 AM. |

Welcome to TCF Can I just ask why you are messing about like this? Just set the first boot sequence in the bios to cdrom. XP will then auto install after you; "Press any key to boot from CD" The days of having to boot off a floppy are well gone mate, even some versions of 98SE could install off the cd My System: #

| Agreed, stop messing around with this and boot off the CD in your Bios. It takes like 2 seconds.
