XP installation

[Davin]

When I put in the XP pro CD in after it reformats my comp
and copies the setup files, after the reboot and passes
BIOS Windows stops. It says....

Windows could not start because of a computer disk
hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the
selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
Please check the windows documentation about hardware
disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals
for additional information.

I tried to change the boot path but the BIOS said that
there isn't enough disks to create one... I have my CD
rom drive and my hard drive..

You may have a bad hard drive. From a different computer, go to the
drive mftr.'s website and download a diagnostic utility. Usually you
will then make a bootable floppy. Boot with it, run the thorough test,
and if the drive has errors replace it.
