So I've got this laptop from a friend, and Windows XP is pretty much pooped on it. I've got 4 CDs, one System CD and 3 Recovery CDs. All unopened.
I boot from the System CD, and it asks for the other three, one at a time. After the 3rd CD, it asks for another, "SCD Disk 1" or something, and I assume it's the original CD again, the System CD. But when I put that it, it starts over again, wiping the drive and asking for the other 3 CDs.
I don't know what to do!!
Anyone have an idea? Anyone successfully used the Recovery CDs? I'm pulling my hair out here!!
Thanks in advance
