I am trying to install Windwos XP on my computer
(not the upgrade). I have two CD-Roms 1-R/W and
on Read only. I used the Win98 boot disk to
fdisk and format my hard drive. When I go into the
BIOS and set the computer to boot to CD-Rom first
and then put in the Win XP CD-Rom, I get errors
to both CD-Roms: ATAPI CD Rom…failure
ATAPI CD Rom…failure
Both of these CD-Rom drives have always worked
before and I have the R/W set as master and the ReadOnly set to slave.If I unplug the slave
the the master doesn’t work either, it’s like
one won’t work without the other. Also, after
I formatted using the Win98 boot disk, I tried to
install Win XP from the CD-Rom and it detcted it
but went into a Win98 boot up menu even though
I set it to boot to the CD-Rom with the Win Xp
Cd-Rom in it and the Win 98 boot disk not in
the floopy. This is very strange, does anyone have
any ideas as to what could be going on here
