    Note about installing Windows XP
    « on: June 26, 2010, 07:51:50 AM »
    After installing Windows XP, you may get the following error:
    Error loading operating system.
    This is because the AwardBIOS has been set to access the disk improperly, causing the system to halt. This is specific to AwardBIOS's.
    Go into Setup using DELETE.
    Go to BIOS Features or something
    Select the HD you are installing to
    Change the access type to "LBA"
    Press F10, Y, Enter/Return
    Re-install XP
    Job done!
