Hi,
I made the mistake of installing vista first then xp, and so i formatted
both drive and tried to install xp clean first but it would not boot the cd,
i just get a blank screen. I tried to boot from the floppy drive and I get a
"ntldr is missing" message. I can on the other hand boot the vista dvd and
install vista. I have formatted both drives so there's nothing on them but it
still doesn't boot the xp cd.
Help!
 
format the hard drive through the mfg's diagnostic download. worked for my WD
