hey
my dad got an old pc that he wants me to fix up for him
so i formated an installed using the xp disk that came with it
installed fine no problems but when it boots without the windows cd in i get the message
"boot from atapi cdrom, boot from atapi cdrom, boot disk failure , insert system disk an try again"
if i press anything i jus get the same message
so i put the windows disk in and it says:
"press any key to boot atapi..."
i wait an it loads windows fine.
can any1 tell me why it does this? never happened on any other pc i put xp on,
as i say it rather old, not sure how old has a soc A abit board and an xp 1100 i believe.
thx for any help!
