Right,
Usually i’m able to figure things out, but this has me stumped.
I backed all my data up and wiped my HDD for a clean install. I got my XP disk out, put it in and it just “skips” to the recovery console. It’ll load all the drivers etc. but never goto where you can press enter to install, it always just goes to the recovery console.
The same happens with windows 2000.
When trying to install windows 98se, it gets to the plug&play config then hangs and BSOD’s with a “disk write error” on C. I’ve tried installing from HDD, changing RAM (from 1024 to 256) and countless others. None work. I was going to install windows 98 so i could upgrade install XP onto it.
I can install windows 7 fine (originally why i wiped), however it doesn’t support my graphics card so i want to go back to XP.
Anyone got any ideas?
My setup:
Motherboard; PCCHIPS P23g (V3.0)
Graphics; ATI radeon x1050
Memory; 1024mb DDR pc3200
HDD; Maxtor SATA 300gb.
Thanks for any help.
