Angry Installing Windows XP. :-(
I'm havin' such a great time trying to do a fresh install of Windows XP. :-D Not really... Anyway... Well, this didn't start out as a fresh install, I was using Paragon Partition Manager to get a new partition on my harddrive, well it froze while trying to complete it, I left it on for about 2 hours, and nothing... I decided to restart the computer (bad idea) when I did this, so I ran Max Blaster 4 reformatted the drive, and inserted the Windows XP (legit copy) and rebooted, well now when I try to install it, it says I need to insert the Windows XP, 2000, ME, 98SE, 98, 95 disk. I ejected the CD rom, and put the CD back in... It said strike any key when ready, but I CAN'T FIND THE ANYKEY BUTTON?!?!?! ( (Joke) I struck the key and the same window popped up, I can't figure out what is wrong? :-( Any help? Thanks a lot Jeremiah.

Are you sure this is a full version of XP and not a upgrade disc?

Big Thanks to Trotter for the HDD. Big Thanks to CarnageX for the Video Card. Big thanks to Saxon, without you none of this would be possible.

it's an upgrade disc.

Silent_Joka. you need another os disc since this is an upgrade disc. they make you verify that you have a previous version of windows.


LOL. when the say any key, they mean any key that is on the keyboard, not a key named anykey

I figured it was a upgrade disc. I just wanted to ask first.
