When I boot from CD-ROM I get:
--------------------------
boot from atapi cdrom:
no emulation
--------------------------
I can boot from the Windows XP disk and use it to format my drive. When it gets to the stage of copying the Windows files to the installation directory it has trouble copying certain files.
I have tried booting from the Windows XP disk several times but it always gets stuck when trying to copy Windows files to installation directory.
In my case I doubt it is the CD Drive as I have tried using another and the same problem occurs. I have also tried another Windows XP disc with the same results.
There should be no hardware compatibility issues because about a year ago I installed Windows XP successfully on the very same machine.
Could it be a M/B BIOS problem?
Thanks for any help!
