Hello
This is the first time I experience this problem. Luckly its not on my pc.
In my voc class we have people mostly in the voc school itself bring computers to our class to fix. There is this Dell laptop that we had few a week or so that needed a new HD.
Well I put xp in and did a boot from it and it did its thing and when it restarts to do the actually install with the graphical interface it just pops an error up about the data error and it does that with 3 xp cds.
I was wondering if most likely its the cd drive or something else? Also what is the best diagnostic program that runs off a floppy or cd so I can test the cd drive?
I think its the drive most likely but I wanna make sure.
Thanks
