Write out the computer

[VicMom]

I have Dell Inspiron 9300 which has window xp home edition os installed before. I installed window 2003 server in the computer. I forgot the password. So I can login in the Windows 2003 server.

I could not boot the window xp home edition , too. It gave me the following error message:

window could not start because of a comuter dis hardware configuration problem.

Could not read from the selected book disk. Check booth path and disk hard

Please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.

I started the computer Windows Server 2003 as backup recover mode according to some instruction over the internet. I can’t login in as machine administration. It kept giving me password not correct message.

Since I do not have window xp home edition any more, I just want to use a computer. I want to install my window xp profession version.While I put the window xp profession in the CD drive. It could not boot, too.

I do not mind to write out my pc. How can I fix the problem? Thx.

In the BIOS set the cd-rom as the primary boot device.
