lemme elaborate a bit:
i turn my computer on, and it says windows setup and it loads a buncha stuff.
Then it comes to a screen that says "Welcome to Setup". It says this setup program prepares windows XP to run on your computer.
*To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER
*To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
I put in my Windows CD, and press enter. Then t says
"Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer."
Setup cannot continue. To quit, press F3. Then it just restars again.
i wish i knew what i was doing.
EDIT: I will try that ZD, thanks
