Errors Installing Windows XP
Hi - I am trying to reinstall Windows XP and am experiencing errors...
When I boot from the installation disk, I get to a point where Windows can't see my hard drive - it reports that no mass storage media is present. Can anyone help? Thanks

Errors Installing Windows XP
If your bios set can see the drive, enter the recovery console and run the
command: CHKDSK /r -- Was this post helpful to you? Then click the "Yes" button, below. Voting helps others who use the web interface. Mark L.

Errors Installing Windows XP
Maybe you need to install third party drivers, typically sata/raid, from
floppy, via F6 option early in the process Or there again if you are reinstalling after a problem, perhaps your IDE drive has failed. "MarcoD" wrote in message ...

Thanks Try to log into your BIOS and see if your HDD is set as the First Boot Option and go through your HDD configuration, it depend on your BIOS make and version. Also if your HDD came with Software drivers you need to install them by Pressing F6 when performing the installation/Setup. HTH. nass ------ www.nasstec.co.uk
