XP pro Install drama
Was trying to upgrade my computer from win XP home to pro.
All was working fine untill the first re-start. Then upon trying to refernece the XP pro CD I was using (borrowed from a friend) the CD disk could not be loaded - I later looked at the disk on another computer and found that when the disk was burnt that all the data was put inside another folder/directory layer making it impossible for the CD to be used as a boot disk etc etc as whn it looks for the files it needs they are embedded in another folder. dumb all the way round. what now - whenever I turn the computer it is trying ot read from a CD-have tried putting a correctly burnt version of the CD and still the saem problem. Also tried looking in my mobo book and found out how to re-load CMMOS setting did this. what do I have to do to get the computer to forget about trying to load windows. can't get into Bios.. anyone have any clues about what to do????? |

We cannot offer any support for copied versions of Windows, or any other copied software on the PCmech forums. Legal software is the only stuff we touch here.

sounds like you made a real mess of things now.
first thing you need to do id buy a leagle copy of xp. then clean off the hard drive of everything and start all over. |
