I just built a computer. It has an Epox MB, Athlon XP 1700 cpu, 60 GB 7200 rpm Maxtor HD, and 256 MB DDR RAM.
I have the setup floppies for both Win2K and XP. I load them and at the end it prompts me for the OS CD. I put it in the drive and press the enter button as directed and then.........NOTHING! No CD-ROM activity. This happends with both 2k and XP.
Now........I can load Win ME or lower just fine. I start the computer with a WIN98 setup floppy and choose the "start w/ cd rom support" option and then select the appropriate drive and run setup........all goes fine. After the install........it works great.......but still wont take an upgrade to 2K or XP!!??
I have no idea whats going on here...........I've built several computers and have never encountered this before!
Any help is appreciated!!!
