QUESTION :
I am trying to install Windows XP and I get to the first installation screen when it reboots and asks me to press any key.
- If I don’t but just wait nothing happens.
- If I start installation again or do press a key it just starts all over again.
I tried a Windows 7 disc and that works fine although I don’t have a spare product key so it has to be XP.
Any ideas?
ANSWER :
- remove the CD
- press any key
- it should boot from the partly installed winXP
- after it boots into the 2nd part of the installer, reinsert the CD
good luck.
I solved this. I had an 500GB hard drive I created two partitions. The OS went on a 70GB partition and it worked
