Title: Blinking Dash only when boot up.
Post by: Jayoel on October 05, 2006, 05:10:08 AM

I installed windows vista clean install Rc1 and used it for ages.
Then came the day when i wannted to play a game that only worked on xp.
So I created partition and got to the point of copying all files to the partition and then it rebooted and had a flashing dash as does nothing. cant use it even for vista.
I have xp install disk no vista one and I used a cd emultor to install vista.
I have access to a windows 98 pc that has floppy disk drive .
Recovery disks dont work.
I want to get my main computer working again with either xp or vista or even better dual boot.
Specs are

P4
1gb of ram
40 gb harddrive with an External 300gb harddrive (cant os on to the external one)
64mb Graphics.
