Hopefully someone can help me on this newsgroup. :)

I just built my first computer (didnt want to buy
prebuilt dell systems, etc anymore). Anyways, after
configuring the BIOS i moved to install Windows XP. Last
night after the Welcome to Setup screen my screen cut off
to half a screen from the Windows XP License agreement
forward. Why is this? When I get to the next screen, I
dont know how to select "unpartioned space" since i cant
see he bottom half of my screen.
Also... I have tried this again today, however, I cant
even get my system to boot the disk. I am receiving
a "Error loading Operating System disk"
Someone please help!!!

My system:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard
512 MB RAM PC2700
Maxtor 60MB Harddrive (8mb buffer)
Arcade VGA Video Card (I am using this machine to emulate
arcade games... M.A.M.E)

Thanks,
Aki
 
First go into BIOS,exit page,select,"load set-up defaults"
then save changes and exit BIOS.If the problems still
exist,load xp cd,reboot computer or shut-down,then boot
to cd when the text appears,choose recovery,if asked for
password,press enter key,in recovery type:CHKDSK C: /p
after it runs if partitioning is needed type:DiskPart /?
Info will show how,typing:HELP gives list to all,after
youre finished type:EXIT XP will prompt to install then.
You can also reformat the disk,type:FORMAT C: FS/ntfs
