strider_D_3000 Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 how do i configure my computer to boot from disk ive tried setting the cd-rom as my 1st boot sequence from bios but after they say press any key to boot from disk it shows me a black screen for a long time
Drewdatrip Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 well make sure to hit a key.....and make sure that the cd is bootable..=Drew
strider_D_3000 Posted July 3, 2003 Author Posted July 3, 2003 i know the disk is bootable because i install xp on my other systems but on this one after i thin anykey it either stuck on a black screen or it will go to a checking hardware configuration and then into a black blank screen i never see the blue familer screen of the setup
Aaron Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Does this only happen with the Windows XP CD? Have you tried earlier versions of Windows to see if they boot into the blue text-mode setup?
Unwonted Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 When I had a hard drive go bad on me, my XP CD did the same thing. I removed the hard drive I wasn't booting from and tried it again and it worked. If you have multiple hard drives, try unplugging one. If not, try unplugging your drive and seeing if it will boot off the CD.
strider_D_3000 Posted July 3, 2003 Author Posted July 3, 2003 wierd last night i tried it again and it works wierd the cd isnt scratch but its just wierd it usually would of stay at a blank black screen but thins time it move to the blue one where u can select what u want to do
