Hi,
I hope someone can help me out here with advice, my main xp machine wont boot into windows, it loads the windows xp botting screen and then just goes no further.
I havent got the xp cd, as i borrowed it from a freind of which i have now lost contact. Ive tried booting from my orignial system recovery cd but i this didnt work as it stated the wrong operating system found. Ive also tried booting with a win 98 floppy disk but this gives me a dos command promt with cd rom support, so ive tried to install Win me from the dos promt but said something about wrong system files on hd. All i wish to do is format the c drive and resinall win me from my recovery cd but i cant seem to get it to work.
Can anyone please help, is thier a command i can type from the dos promt to format the drive then reisntall windows ? if so please can u tell me how.
Any help would be very grateful.
Many Thx
