Help with re-installing Windows

by col_ram . Updated 16 years, 5 months ago

Following failure of the PSU on my rather old PC, I have replaced the PSU & hard drive – as having replaced the PSU the BIOS failed to detect the old hard drve

When booting up now in BIOS the card drive, floppy drive and CD-drive are all visible

However, the Windows XP recovery CD supplied with the PC many moons ago will not autoplay and if I put an MS-DOS boot disk into the A:\ I can’t then get to the new hard drive or CD drive

Any thoughts on how I might resurrect the PC?
