Hello everyone.
I installed a new HD in my hp pavilion computer that has WinXP home Ed. I tried installing Win2K on the new HD. I made the original drive Master while the new one Slave. Now I am having problems rebooting from the Win2K CD.
I unplugged the original HD and plugged just the new one, and with Win2K in its drive, tried to install it. But it didn't re-boot from the CD. I got an error message
about system failure.
Then I created a bootable floppy disk, but apparently
it didn't have support for CD.
I think what I need now is a bootable floppy that supports CD (as the technical personal said...) is it possible to
email these files to me?
Your comments will be appreciated.
Thanks, Ilan.
