XP Install Problem
- Thread starter robinbredin
- Start date
you need to go into your bios and change the boot order to boot from the cd/dvd first, than your hdd.
that way it will always check your cd/dvd drive first and you can boot from your install cd/dvd.

Hi fadedrs, I did that. It boots off the disc ok, and loads ok. But when it finishes loading it reboots, then I get an message saying "A Disk Read Error Occurred, Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to Restart". That is were it ends, I cannot get it to install.
