He wanted to reformat the harddrive and reinstall a clean version of
WinXP pro. He attempted to reinstall winXP Pro from a burned winXP OS
installation CD but ran into some problems during the installation,
right at the point when winXP attempts to start the installation
program (you know the blue screen with the status indicator on the
bottom telling you "WinXP is searching for drivers etc.") it
immediately goes to a dark blue screen with an error message of the
form 0xF899663C, etc, etc. The way the guy got WinXP to install was to
install win98 from the OEM WinXP installation, then install WinXP
through the Win98 installation.
So I attempted to reinstall winXP, booting directly from the
installation CD. I went into bios and configured it to boot from the
CDROM, I put CDROM to the top of the boot order, rebooted and computer
simply booted from the HD without asking me if I wanted to boot from
the CDROM(I had the installation CD in there). I tried this several
times, same result. I also tried increasing the time for POST tests
same result. Did HP modify their notebooks so it won't boot from
certain discs, or from non-HP recovery discs? Does anyone know how I
can force this notebook to boot directly from a winXP installation CD?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
