Windows XP Pro Restore Problem
Hi All, I'm having problems getting Windows XP Pro SP1 (The only version of it I have) to boot and go through the setup/restore process. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FS model laptop which I originally configured as a Dual boot Win XP Pro/Red Hat Linux ES, but this has recently been corrupted.
Hi All,
I'm having problems getting Windows XP Pro SP1 (The only version of it I have) to boot and go through the setup/restore process. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FS model laptop which I originally configured as a Dual boot Win XP Pro/Red Hat Linux ES, but this has recently been corrupted. The problem started shortly after I upgraded to IE7, but coincided with me changing domains too and since then all sorts of things have gone wrong. I wanted to try a restore but when I reboot with the XP CD in the drive, it flashes up with 'Setup is inspecting your computers hardware configuration...' for a few seconds and then goes blank and nothing happens. Does anyone know why?
Many thanks!
