Probably a problem with your hard disk. If it were me I would burn a GParted iso, boot the 'puter with it, delete all partitions on the disk and create 1 NTFS partition. Then install XP.
what is a gparted? does it have to be an iso image?

It' a partition editor. Yes, it is an ISO that you download and burn to a CD. Then boot from it, delete partitions, create an NTFS partition and live happily ever after.

ok i found a download for it but its not ISO?

There can i get an iso....my bittorrnting client isn't working so...


Oh wait i found an ISO. Ty.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW BACK TO WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!


Crap i hit a snag.

I burned the file to a DVD-RW and i set my bios to boot from it.

It can't boot from the DISC???????????????????????????

pls help

i am going to burna cd-rw maybe a CD-RW will be better than DVD.

The CD-RW didn't work?????

Do i have to use a specialized software to burn this image?

Don't use a re-writable cd or dvd. They don't work well for iso images.
