Hello guys ok i brought a new hard drive for my laptop and also a copy of windows xp pro sp3 when going thru the installation of the OS i got this error:
in the blue bar of the window it says:
c:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe
and in the box underneath it says:
windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
i can not do anything apart from hold the power button in to restart.
so i restarted the whole process however its now not booting from the cd it goes straight into "setup is being restarted" and tries to continue with the installation but keeps going back to the error.
things ive tried:
boot from cd
safe mode
another copy of win xp (but wont boot from cd)
DBAN but wont run from cd.
So the main thing i need to try and do is wipe the hard drive clean without windows and without booting from cd. is this possible? any other ideas and solutions would be much help thanks.
