Hi
I got this MAJOR problem! My father's pc needed to be formatted and installed again no prob there I did it about 20 times already on various system's but now this one has got me going for 2 day's now
Here's the thing
1 he would install because windows coul'd find the eula no major prob there I encounterd this one before my answer is install Me and upgrade (its not my pc so who care's if I upgrade) did that so far so good untill he began installing xp it stopt with 39 min and froze from there after a while I got this WEIRD error saying something weirder (sorry I didn't wrote it up)
So format c here whe go because Me woul'd boot up anymore
So far so good going to install windows still no eula so Me
Got there installed Xp fine now when I booted I see its installed xp not over Me but in a different partition I had on the hd nothing t whurry about I thought because everythnig was working but now
I sliced up the hd before everything with all the data on it so I had 2 partition's
I wanted to merge this one so (I use partition magic btw) I formatted c: and joined this to d:
BUT at the end of the joining it gave me again a verry WEIRD error message
and everytime I wanted to boot it said INVALID SYSTEM DISK
REPLACE THE DISK AND THEN PRESS KEY
SO xp lost incluiding some of the data
ok now
I toke out the hd an placed it in my pc
It worked fine I copied the data onto my pc and deleted averything on the hd
I installed xp on it throu my pc and it worked great now I placed everything back how I schould be (I think checked it and looks fine) and I have the same error message
INVALID SYSTEM DISK REPLACE THE DISK AND THEN PRESS KEY
There is NO disk or cdrom in the drives I tryid everything I can think of incluiding booting up from cdrom (tnx mdsalih) no luck there won't even start the cd
The drive itself can be found in dos under c: I get to see 3 maps windows, documents and settings and program files
It works fine in my pc
I'm going to try and put my hd in the pc to see if it's the hd itself or the motherboard a somesort because I don't know wath to do next
I hope someone will
