thanks for your reply....yes i just made the boot disk with nero last night....i ve got p4 1mb ram.....wind xp sp2...

when i start up the computer---F8---boot fromm cd....and nothing, except black screen and the message:

windows boot faild----------- xp boot error-4???

thats it, any idea!?!? i had/have at least 20 windows cd and i cant boot one except my windows 2000?????

why?

[gerryf]

you didn't mention how you made the boot disk...sounds like a boot sector error on the cd.

[szefob93]

oh, sorry!! i used nero....and a guide for making windows xp boot disk!!!

Howdy:

Just curious, but why an XP boot disk when XP is self-booting already??

try changing RAM and then check................Its not the HD, its the memory. get some ram and it would work OK, It was because the memory isn't compatible or corrupted.....

[szefob93]

no, sorry its not a bootdisk! its just the windows xp prof sp2 bootable cd!!! but it doesnt work...........and its a brand new

P4 ASUS P4P800 SE, ATI RADEON 9550, 2x 512 Ram, 120GB HD.....o and INTEL 3.2 MHZ Proc.

so i had to install the windows xp a couple of times, but i used my win 2000 cd then i upgraded for windows xp.....because it doesnt wanna boot from any of my windows pro cd!!?!!??

thanks guys for the help!!!

[dinkaragg]

is it that, now the problem have been sorted out ???

[szefob93]

no, no i still have the problem!!!! my computer doesnt wanna boot from any windows xp prof cd!!! i tried at least 10 of them! sometimes it just a black screen sometimes message: boot error-4???

[gerryf]

ok, you've "made" 10 of them, but what about the original? That yields the same error?

[Murray S.]

Pirated/copied XP cd's will NOT self-boot.. Use the original and it should be fine..

If you don't have the original, then you are on your own as we don't support pirated software!!

NO, i have the original win 2000 and win xp!!!!!!!!! i'll take the computer back tomorrow....so they can fix it!!!

thx, guys!!
