Dear all,
I am having problems installing windows xp pro sp2 on a AMD duron 1.3 ghz + 512mb ram rig that i built myself from bits that i had lying around/begged/borrowed and never gave back. I run through the whole process of installing and everything goes fine, but when i restart it gives me the error "Error loading operating system" while still in the bios, just after the DMI check.
 
Please help!

The XP pro is not compatible with your computer set up. The best way to fix this issue, that I see, is to change your set up or change the operating system.
