windows boot disc not working
My windows xp is corrupted. I have been using a valid copy of windows xp but I can't find the recovery disc so i downloaded Windows XP Pro Student Edition SP2 and followed the instructions blah blah blah burned it to a dvd using nero but when I try it on the computer nothing happens (I made sure the boot option are all ok in the bios) i even tried using MAGICISO to make a bootable version but still nothing what am I doing wrong?
try burning @ a lower rate, 4x or 8x
ReplyDeletesome OS iso's are finiky about burning @ full rate
worked for me a couple o' times
do you have another bootable disk to test CD booting ?
also make sure there is not any junk/dust on the written side of the disk. i agree that alower burn rate usually does the trick for os.
ReplyDeletenah no dirt on the disc mate just gotten around to burning the new disc at 10% now hope it works
ReplyDeleteI burnned it at 4x speed but still no luck i'm starting to get p*ssed off a little lol any other ideas?
Had a little problem with \system32\hal.dll but i fixed that with
ReplyDeleteAttrib -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini
DEL C:\Boot.ini
BootCfg /Rebuild
Fixboot
So All Is Well FIXED!
