Hi chaps, got a really strange one.
Got a Acer Travelmate 4060 here with a failing hard disk although it does still boot to XP.
So easy job, change hard disk, and load xp again. Well everything appears to go well, XP setup starts, finds the disk, partitions and formats it then starts copying files, gets to the end when it restarts for the first time and up pops the message "Operating system not found"
I've tried original XP Home and Pro discs not fiddled with ones. One's that I have tested in another PC I have here and they work fine.
I've taken the disk out plugged it in to my PC and that also confirms all the files from XP setup are on it and the partition is marked as active.
Can any one shed any light on this as it's driving me insane!
Cheers
