| 697651 | 2008-08-16 07:43:00 | I'll take it from the top. My PC has an intel motherboard. 1.75GB of DDR RAM. (3x512MB, 1x256MB) 2.6GHz Pentium 4 Hyper Treaded processor. ATI Radeon HD2600XT AGP Graphics card. 250GB Western Digital IDE hard drive. _______________________________________________ Today I decided to try dual boot XP & Vista (Vista Ultimate 32bit installed). When I ran the XP setup I had a few errors saying that 'XXXXX file could not be copied.' Nevertheless I restarted my computer to find that when it restarted there was a screen saying 'error loading operating system.' So what I did was formatted the entire hard drive :mad: using my bootable vista disc. Then I used my bootable XP disc to install XP by itself. I still had the errors but the copying of setup files finished but when it restarted all I got was the splash screen from the people who made my computer (silicon) and I couldn't do anything (note even open the bios.) HELP!!! |

Try and copy the XP cd to your hard drive (create a folder first, then copy. I take it, you've got another computer)? See if it says the same thing again. If it doesnt, burn it to another blank cd. |
