My hard drive crashed and I need to reinstall XP PRO but my computer does not start on the CD
I went into the BIOS and changed to start from the windows xp pro disk but no matter if I put in the pro or the original disk, I get 'disk read error. CTRL Alt Del to restart. BIOS can see how much space is left on the hard drive, so it's there, and BIOS knows I want to boot from the installation disc, but it doesn't. What I am doing wrong?
Hi Jade4142.Did try you go to BIOS and set it to the default settings and put the disc in, and then restart. There are many variables to a disc is loading. It could be the Platinum cd/dvd is defective, the disc is dirty, scratched or any black disc market. It you load on the HARD drive that crashed? If so, it could be that the HARD drive is infected? If this is a new HARD disk, you must leave the disconnected HARD drive, start the computer that lights up and looking for a hard drive. In this way the motherboard works independent of the HARD drive. The motherboard doesn't have a HARD drive to boot. Once you start without a HARD disk he won't say you no HARD drive or o/s found. Stop it. Connect the HARD drive for the sake of things a NEW HARD drive. Then start the unit go to BIOS and set to boot from the cd/dvd and then save and reboot. If the disc is genuine, and it's a new HARD drive, it should load without problems. He must ensure that the cd/dvd is above the machine to choose this path.click top and press the sign on your keyboard + and you'll see it move to the top of the list. If she is not at the top is not first in line to start. Just trying to help.

I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7. I am also having a problem installing Adobe Flash player. It is said that API-MS-Win-Core-Registery-l1-1-0.dll is missing but I don't know what it is. Any suggestions?
"Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.
Try to upgrade manually:

- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
If the problem persists, try the upgrade manually, but choose the option to keep personal files only, you will have to reinstall applications.

Problems with my installation of Windows XP and my computer does not start on the CD.
Hi, I need BIG help here please!... I wanted to do a fresh install of Win XP Pro, but my PC didn't boot from the XP CD... I changed the BIOS settings, the sequence start on CD, restart my PC and he kept boot from the HARD drive and the PC does not recognize that there is a CD-ROM drive. Once the start-up of the PC from the CD, I wanted to delete the partition and format the HARD drive, but it says "Setup could not format the partition...". "something like that... so what I did I have the PC from the boot CD, click in the command line and 'R' for repair, I wrote"format c:"and after that, I wrote" diskpart remove C:' so I deleted the old partition, create a new and when I wanted to install XP on it, I could not because the PC does not start from the CD... how can solve this? "
Thank you!
original title: HELP for the installation of Win XP.Hi Jorge,.
So the only thing I can think is that it is a sort of master/slave thing.
Your IDE HDD will be a Knight, probably alongside where the power cable is inserted, to dictate whether the player will be considered to be a master, slave, or cable select. Assuming that it is the only HARD drive in the PC, make sure it is designated "master". Then, in the BIOS, make sure that the boot order is specified as HDD0 first (as opposed to HDDx where x is greater than zero).
In addition, assuming that the data cable is the new type of Ribbon with strands of 80, make sure that the blue connector of the IDE data cable is in the motherboard and that the end of the black connector is in the HARD disk and, if it is a two-disc data cable, do not use the gray connector.

Computer does not start if the 150 GB Toshiba HARD drive is connected
Hi, I bought an external hard drive of 150 GB PX1220E of pc world a few days ago. When I start my PC it sticks on the splash screen, and I have to unplug the usb cable and restart the pc, then connect the drive again to use it.
Is this an error with the drive?
Hello
I googled a bit and it seems that it is really a Toshiba HDD.
However, for me, this is NOT a malfunction.
The external HARD disk is connected before starting. So I think that the computer is trying to boot from the external HARD drive and so it freezes.You should check the boot order in the BIOS and connect the HARD drive after you start the procedure.
