I'm trying to enter into my old notebook (compaq presario amd k6) and it keeps giving me error:

1st error ----> Operating system not found ....
I then put de winxp cdrom into it, to make a brand new instalation of windows but then the s.o.b.tells me that:

CDBOOT: memory overflow error

It's driving me crazy

Please... please HELLLLLLLLLLLLP!

This is a tech. problem, in search of a solution.

It properly belongs in "Technical Q&A," not in "Discussions."

Please re-post there.

Thank you.

Your's is a common mistake, made all too easy by the structure of TR.

This problem has been addressed in several discussions, to no avail.

TR is aware of the problem, but so far has chosen to do nothing about it.

It therefore falls to the members to control it as best possible.

Check jumper settings on the hard drive. I got this message on post after I removed jumpers while trying to solve a diff prob.
Dumb luck for me if it works for ya!
