| 389029 | 2005-09-17 22:36:00 | I bought a second-hand PC that had XP Pro installed but came with no disc,s. Sometimes when I switch it on it tells me to "insert boot-up disc". I switch it off and on a few times and it comes right. I looked it up on the web but I do not understand what it means. This is what I think it means. I make a boot-up disc, that starts it, and then use the XP installation disc (if I had it) to reinstall XP. Is that right or can I just use the boot disc to start it when necessary? | Nalla (6795) | ||
| 389030 | 2005-09-18 00:54:00 | have you got a registration sticker on the side of the pc? hen want you say may work. BTW you dont need a boot disk. the xp cdrom is bootable. That error message can be caused by serveral things, faulty power supply ( unusal I know), RAM, to the worst ones Faulty Hard Ddrive or Mother Board. Have you got a usb pen drive inserted when booting ? can your machine boot off usb devices ? if the answer to both these questions is yes, try removing the usb pen drive when booting |
