Hi,
I'm trying to install Windows XP using boot floppies and a CD-ROM I've used
sucessfully before.
After going through the floppies the setup procedure starts correctly. I
format the C drive (130 Gb) then continue the setup procedure; the next step
is that it copies all the setup files into the Windows directory on the C
drive. It then tells me to remove any floppies and that it's about to
restart. It does - continually. It tries to read the CD-ROM (which is still
in the drive) as well as trying to read the hard drive. I'm not sure which
one it should be trying to access at this stage, but both should be
available, and it doesn't move on from there. I've gone through the whole
cycle insert floppies - reformat C drive - copy files over and restart twice
now with the same result. Any pointers? Is the hard-drive/partition too big?
I'm formatting it with NTFS.
Thanks for any pointers,
Eric
