| Install XP pro . Problem I would try re-formatting and re-installing XP. Do a full format not a quick one. Also, is it a IDE or SATA hard drive? You sometimes have to install the drivers for SATA drives at XP installation where it promtps you to push F6 to install drivers. However, I have SATA drives and don't have to enter drivers. Check also that the boot order in the BIOS is set correctly. Usually 1st: Floppy 2nd: HDD 3rd: CD/DVD ROM. But I think a full format should fix it. By the way - to get to the boot options menu to access Safe Mode. Repeatidly press Shift or F8. |
