Hello,
I had a look at the previous messages and it seems none comes exactly
to what I am experiencing.
Problem: I cannot reformat disk and install WinXP using the recovery
CD.
After the message "Press any key to boot from CD..." there is a
fleeting
line - which I cannot read - and the screen goes and stays blank.
Notes:
1) The recovery disk came with the PC which I bought just over a year
ago.
2) I have used this CD to reformat and reinstall XP quite a few times.
3) I have an off-the-self P4 PC with no hardware changes.
4) I have currently a multi boot system - WinXP/Ubuntu/Suse (I want to
get rid of the last two).
5) The CD-ROM driver seems to work ok. I manage copy the contents of
various CDs onto the HD with no problem. Same with recovery CD -
managed to copy it to HD as a test.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
