When I try to run it, the laptop goes to the XP Start screen, quickly followed by the windows was not closed properly black screen that asks you to open in safe mode, safe internet, last know configuration etc. WHen I click on any of them, a blue screen pops up for a second and it goes back into the same loop. I have tried re-booting from the Windows XP disc but I can't get it to install.
Closed the unit down
now press the start button and hold down the delete button to get it to start in bios
check the boot sequence there
adjust as required and save
SOURCE: I have been trying to install XP, the 64 bit
I think your problems are at least two fold. Firstly the number of characters that can be used in XP as file names is far less than Win7 plus you probably have a drivers issue. Always get your drivers
from the manufacturer of your Laptop, Notebook or Desktop. If you were to log on to the
manufacturer's
web site, usually one is able to download if
available, by model number,
All available Driver
downloads
as required.
If the driver is not
available, perhaps your manufacturer does not support the OS you are
installing. This is the best way of ensuring up to
date drivers for your system and they are free of charge! There
are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer
supported. Some
manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed. I hope this helps.
Hope this helps but don't hold your breath as you need SP3 to be able to get any support from Microsoft.
fist off all you go to the BIOS and change boot order (as fist boot device CD-ROM) then try again.
Try Safe mode.
Then once you're in, run your virus checker.
I like WebRoot.
Delete your browser cache, clean up the disk.
And email to yourself any files that you really want to keep so that you won't lose them in case the computer really goes down...
