i have a sony vaio p3 with xp home it crashed i formatted and it wont let me boot from cd even through the bios or usb(no option)
so i bought an enclosure and cant install windows to it , on first restart of install a blue screen tells me windows startup program doesn’t recognize the drive in the enclosure and i need special software(doesn’t tell me what software)
so i found a tutorial telling me to install dos 7.1 on the disk using a 44 to40 pin adapter (which i don’t have) and then copy the file i386 from the windows disk and run setup from dos.
i cant figure out to install dos to the drive from the enclosure
so any help on this would be great
