Hi
I was using ubuntu on my old shuttle xpc and decided it wasn't doing it for me software-wise so tried to reinstall windows xp. Everytime i tried to boot xp i would get so far and then get a message " The file dac2w2k.sys is corrupted press any key". I tricked around with different bios settings with no joy so then went to "restore fail safe bios" (something like this).
Now when I turn on the machine i just get to the first screen with the intel picture and cant get any further. I've tried going into the boot screen but it just says "loading boot menu" and nothing happens. Same happens when i try to get into the bios.
My knowledge of the hardware workings of a pc is little to none so i've no idea how to reset the bios, if this is in fact the problem. Could anyone advise me? I would be so grateful.
Thanks
