The problem i am having s that-
+I boot from the XP Boot disk
+It install fine and reboots as norml
+Now at the start up the is a boot screen asking which XP
i wanted, this only stays up for about half a second and goes into the one
that was highlighted (which so happens to be the one that i am trying to
install) but sits at a blank screen.
+Just sits at a blank screen
+I restart from the first point but still doesnt work.
I would really appreciate you help guys. i am trying to start up a website
that deals with money and Digital animation, but this is running slow on the
HDD that i have now thanks to the processes running on it like Coldfusion MX
7.
