Hi.

The information is not enough.

Can you try to install again?

Be careful to follow all instructions.

Hello,

I will ask the most basic question. I assume you set your PC's BIOS to boot from CD to install XP. Have you reset the BIOS to boot from Drive C:\

As I say, basic question but how many of us have forgotten to reset the boot order in BIOS in our eagerness to get into XP.

Cheers,

Aunty Jack.

If you install well then the computer boots good... try to know that you give the booting order good... that is 1st booting device CD-ROM and second booting device Hard disk...install the xp CD in CD-ROM.....
