insert Windows xp disk & restart your laptop, then press any key to boot from cd to start the installation.If this one does'nt works then by inserting bootable cd & executing command format c:/q will format your previous installation.
Yes, and if after format Windows still complains in anyway shape or form, than your system if not working at 100%. To ensure the best experience of using Windows (that sounded like Microsoft sales rep speech, sorry about that), Windows OS will only on system that it judges wordy to run on. Terrible choice of word, isn't it Sorry, again. But yea, that statement is true.
can u pls tell how to execute command format.....as u said i cant format by xp cd bcoz i get blue screen error before i get into tat format option in xp ...n i cant even login to my xp as m missing my administrator screen its empty....
if you are getting a blue screen before windows XP can load from the CD then you have a hardware fault it seems. although your a little hard to understand. Have you booted from the CD or just try to auto-run the CD when you have booted windows ?
no i have booted from the cd itself i have did several times before but this s first in this case....so any other way of formating the drive n installing fresh copy...???
is the XP CD a real copy, i.e. you didnt burn it to a DVD and are trying from that, was thinking maybe corrupt DVD maybe. only other couple of things i can tihnk of is to remove the HDD and insert it into another PC to format it. or boot from an external DVD drive to see if that works
you sure its a BSOD you're getting and not the windows xp installation page which is also blue when it starts up ? if it is a BSOD the you should be getting an error code on the page if you post that code here we might be able to help more as the code is specific to the error
well since it's already toasted.. can boot xp off the cd and select recovery console- type fixboot c: at the command prompt then restart and format/install like normal..
