hi ye guys
basically i have a old old pc here that i want to install a new OS on but a guy that got to see it before me has done somthing to it and left it once he was called he said it needs formatted and reinstall. But when i put the cd rom in for win xp pro i just kept getting stop error as soon as it had loaded up the drivers. So i couldnt get it formated thinking it must be the HDD i took it out put it on mine and managed to format and install on it win xp pro. i put it back in to the pc and it still wont accept the cd rom with it at same time if they r both in it just sits there no visual no nothing if u take the cd rom out itll start up but will only get so far and then restart so im totally lost only thing i can get to is the bios
