Removing Windows XT

saturndrop · 10-08-2005, 04:47 PM

Ok I have an HP Omnibbok and it was running on Windows NT... one day when I turned it on it wouldnt start because a file was missing "WINNT\SYSTEM32\..." I I tried everything but nothing changed. So I figure I might as well uograde it to Windows XP but when I put the WIndows XP disk in it say "Windows Set up"but it downloads some files and then thats it...it stay on that blue screen with windows set up... I heard that I should erase everything on the drive (format it ) and then try to install windows XP....how do I do this?? please help!

Thanks
