Booting From CD Fails
« on: April 09, 2008, 11:38:01 AM »
I have a hard time installing these things :

Win98 SE

WinXP Pro

They are both bootable as I know and I got this system :

ASUS A7N8X MicroATX
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Sapphire x1650 PRO 512 MB
Maxtor 80 GB
Western Digital 320 GB
Creative SoundBlaster X-fi eXtreme Gamer Low Profile

Startup :

1. Show some info and a HP logo

2. Check: CD 1/2, Floppy, HDD 1/2

3. Loading XP

4. Loading Desktop (here it fails to go further)

Only way to get the PC to read from CD is to force it by pressing ESC when the HP logo shows or make the Maxtor drive not bootable in BIOS

When I force it to read from CD it says:

Insert Proper Boot Device Or Revome Portable Medias

I have also tryed with the CD Drive as 1:st Media to boot from

But nothing i have done seems to help :'(

What can I do ? ???


I will also try this :

1. Install XP on the 320 GB Drive with another PC
2. Move the 320 GB Drive back to my regular PC
The cake is a lie...
