I'll start from the beginning. I bought a new computer...few weeks later the HD died. The company sends me a new HD, which shows in BIOS, but I can't install anything on it. The first set of recovery CDs they sent me were blank. The new set isn't working either. They now want me to send it in, but will charge me shipping. I think this is totally stupid since I've had the computer less than a month. So, I found an old copy of xp pro laying around. I am trying to install that and this time the disk actually runs, but I get Boot ready then a blinking _. Any suggestions?
