I know it sounds stupid but i'm actually having problems installing windows xp on my hard drive...
My friend formatted it for me and when i got it back i plugged it in, activated it in BIOS and booted with my windows xp cd. When i tried to install windows it said that the system couldn't detect any hard drive on my computer so i figured i had to install the drivers. When I put in the cd, which contains drivers and diagnostics, that i got with my computer I get the option to copy the drives over to a floppy. Problem is my pc doesn't have a floppy! This is where i'm stuck and getting nowhere. I've heard that you can use an USB storage device instead of a floppy drive but i tried and it didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated:confused:
