hi all
got a massive problem. I'm trying to build a new machine for a friend and
am installing XP on it. A few weeks ago I got it installed as far as asking
for the Activation Code but couldn't find the code so switched it off...
I've since now found the code but can't get the PC to the same place where
it was before...? When booting the PC up from the XP disc, it starts from
scratch again, installs the first bit, asks which partition I want to
install XP on, installs all the files then restarts. The last time it got
this far, it then booted up with the nice graphics showing and after a bit
more installation asked for the Activation Code. This time round, it's just
starting the full install from the beginnning again!? It's done it 3 times
now, just round and round without getting any further..
Anyone else ever had this problem as it's doing my head in!!? I even tried
connecting the drive to another PC and giving it a thorough format but it's
made no difference.
cheers
