My XP Home Startup Disks Won't Work
undefined
Please go slowly with me because I am an old lady. I installed a CD rewriter on my computer, following instructions to the letter. When I turned on my computer it refused to boot. So, I downloaded and copied the 6 floppies required to use as startup disks. When I put them in my computer they loaded until Disk 6. Then I saw only "please wait..." and nothing ever happened. I've copied 3 different #6 disks. None of them work. How will I ever get my XP Home rebooted? Thank you.
Thank You All. Xp Started--new Problem
Thanks so much. I moved the pin to "slave" and it booted up from the black screen. Everything seemed fine. Now after XP is running for 5 minutes or so the computer restarts itself to highlighted "Start Windows Normally. Then it goes back to the black screen with the same highlight, or sometimes XP restarts. Have I ruined my computer? Thanks for your kindness to the elderly.
