| 717019 | 2008-11-04 00:36:00 | it looks like the xp cd is the only way to fix this problem so yea :) the cpu is amd, not sure what the specs of it are.. probably 1.5GHz maybe.. what i know is that the pc has a 2oGB HDd, 512MB ddr ram, cd drive and a floppy disk drive and XP. |

| 717021 | 2008-11-04 00:54:00 | : xp loading screen appears in an endless cycle until and mesage comes up saying "windows could not start beacuse of a disk hardware configuration problem, could not read from selected boot disk" . XP says this? Or POST? Was XP installed on this HDD? If yes, then I'd just do a repair install on it, you can borrow and XP CD, the important and legal thing is the COA which should be stuck somewhere on the case . |

| 717026 | 2008-11-04 06:08:00 | thanks for the tip, there's no place i can get a cheap copy of xp home that anyone knows of?? cheers Does the PC/ Case have the COA ( product key) stuck to it someplace as mentioned by Pctek in post 15?? If so look to see if its XP Pro or Hm - I know in the original post that you mentioned it had XP Pro - BUT sometimes people get hold of pirated copies - which as Jen pointed out is a BIG NO NO for any help here. IF you have the product key - that is the important part, thats what you are paying for - the licence, you can borrow the same version (CD) from a friend. If you dont have the COA,then you can either possibly get a copy (make sure it's legit, with the COA/Product key) from Trademe if someones selling one - or some shops still sell XP OEM - Legally you need to purchase some hardware to go with it. |
