paulftb Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I had a hard disk failure, and cannot get the system to recognise the XP cd as bootable, can I format the hard disk as a USB drive from another XP system? If so, how, or are there utilities I can use?I have looked everywhere I can search, but come up with nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUZR4LIFE Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The CD is probably not bootable, maybe it was corrupted. I would use another PC to rebuild that XPCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
