Just built my first pc, put my Windows XP Home disc in my rom, rebooted
[changed the boot seq. in bios to boot from cd-rom] and a very bright blue
screen came up that said welcome to Windows XP setup page. The bottom of the
screen showed it was gathering information. Upon finishing gathering info, it
gave me 3 options, one of which said, Press Enter To Install XP, which I did.
It then proceded to the "end user lic. agreement [several pages] I scrolled
to the bottom reading very little as it is far too wordy. At the bottom of
the page, three options were present
1 - F8=I agree
2 - ESQ if you disagree.
3 - Exit the setup. Or something very close to that.
I pressed F8 and nothing happened, it just hangs, doing nothing. Rebooted
many times and tried, to no avail. If I press ESQ it will just reboots and
the process starts all over again. I'm hoping someone can give me some
advice. Would be very appreciative.
Don't know if it makes a difference or not but I have two sata hdd's so my
bios shows there is no primary master or slave and my secondary master and
slave are a dvd-rw and dvd-rom. I just put the drives in and hit go.
Thanks for any help.
