    Installing Windows XP [RESOLVED]

    How do I install Windows XP?

    My hard drive's blank, it doesn't load from the CD (primary slave drive), and doesn't even attempt to look for a boot record from the floppy.

    All I'm getting is:

    "Searching for Boot Record from IDE-0..OK

    Remove disk or other media
    Press any key to restart"

    ....on a loop.

    Thats because of your BIOS boot order..

    You need to change the order in the CMOS so that your system tries to boot from the CD-ROM, then the Hard drive.

    Thanks nKad!

    Setting the primaty master to CD-ROM seemed to work.
