AndyManchesta Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi Par0x, I got the PM but Im afraid its not something I know anything about, there is multiple results on this using search engines but the solution doesnt seem simple, Maybe other members can give you some detailed advise on this http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=320397 http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?q...&FORM=QBME1 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krit86lr Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Could you clearify your situation? I'm not sure what it is that you need. You can get XP Floppy setup disks from MS's website if that's all that you're looking for. It takes 6 diskettes total, so have them ready. I'm not sure exactly what you did. Hope that helps.

If he installed Windows on E, and wants it on C...then he needs to reinstall? Hey, you could also change the letters. You could make C...E, and E...C. There are a few different things you could do in this situation actually. In, my opinion you should fix your CD before doing anything.

medab_1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Can you set the computer to boot from the E: drive? At start up there should be an F key to press to enter setup or boot up options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 you need to enter the bios. try: F1, F2, F3, F4, Del., B, or Enter. there could be more but those are the probable ones. look on the screen when it first starts to boot up, it usually shows up what key to press.
