Hi
Get to the bios screen using F8 or F9, change the first boot device to CD ROM/DVD, then insert a bootable disk into the CD drive and try installing the OS first by completely formatting the HD during installation
Win XP and higher OS editions give you the option to partition the HDD
Hope this resolves

- Usually the f keys that are set are F8 and F9, but to be precise watch the screen while the system boots up and press the F-keys accordingly and get to the BIOS screen. send me a screenshot or foto in case if this does not work

Great help through this problem, resolved by F1 key to access PC setup menu, then changed boot sequence to CDROM, loaded OS via disc. Thanks.

Umax 2200 usb scanner & Vistascan 3.55u in Windows XP Scanner installs to the default XP scanning software, but I have not been able to install the scanner so that it works with the Vistascan software. I much prefer Vistascan as it is much more user friendly & offers more flexibility. Any help would be appreciated.
