It says: f1.....dos f2.....??? Default:f1 if i press f1 it says: Freedos FAT kernel GO! press any key to boot from cd rom... I press any key and it says Loading 1st stored boot sector...ok!

Put your win xp cd in the drive and reboot. It will ask if you would like to boot from cd. After it starts up it is mostly automated. HTH

What happens when you put your XP installation CD in the CDrom and reboot your computer?

Does it enter the XP set up screen at all?
Is that a genuine copy of XP or a pirate copy? Besides the monitor, keyboard and mouse what else do you have plugged into the machine? |
