Hey guys newbie to the boards here. My uncles computer broke down so I tried to fix it but I keep hitting a brick wall.
So I fdisk it, partition the maxtor 40gb drive
format it, then start the install for XP pro
it copies the files, then once its done you get the normal message
" if there is a disk in the A: drive remove it now and restart"
so I remove the boot disk, and reboot, then I get the error
Operating system not found please insert boot disk or something like that"
I tried different OS's, and still the same problem, is there a way to fix this problem? I found some fix on the net where you insert the boot disk and then type ......sys c: will that work, or does anyone have any answers o nthis problem besides buying a new hdd. Thanx!!!.
