Hi people,
My last maxtor plus d740x had bad sectors and failed. I have just got a new unformatted hard disk (maxtor diamondmax plus9 80gb) and i am trying to install xp 1st edition on it.
When i try and install xp onto the harddrive i get a boot sector virus warning. I am asked if i want to continue and select no but installation still continues.
I think that this might be because i have enabled boot sector virus protection on my motherboard and as this is the first time i am installing my hd its attempting to write to the boot record.
Can someone offer some advice?
Thanks
