Hi i formatted the hard drive on my laptop as the os on it had been wrecked by the former owner and was unusable (kept getting windows explorer errors and then all i could see was the wallpaper nothing else). I then started to install windows xp from my disc but only got part way through as my disc must have been damaged as it couldnt find some of the files it needed. Since then i have created a new bootable xp setup disc via my pc on a new disc but the laptop doesnt recognise it and says no bootable disc is in the drive, now i know the disc works as i tried it in my pc but the laptop just doesnt accept this or the previous disc. Do you have any ideas why this would happen and what i can do to finally install xp on it? any help greatly appreciated
ps i have changed the boot sequence to cd rom first
and no it doesnt have a floppy drive
