Hi all,
OK, serious problem here. This machine badly needs to be reformatted, so I sat
down last night, retrieved my hardware drivers using DriverMax, and then made
an unattended install of XP. I burned it to a disk, and then restarted the
machine with the disk in the drive. I received the message:
'Press any key to boot from CD'
I pressed enter, and the XP install screen appeared, saying it was copying
files and such. Then, I was presented with the list of available partitions.
However, all the items in the partition list simply read:
'Unknown Disk - There is no disk in the drive'.
After about 15 seconds, the partition list disappeared, and I received an error
message, 'Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer, if you
haven't seen this error before, blah blah blah.'
So, I restarted, and booted from the CD again, but had the same problem. I
really need to format this machine soon, and can't think why it won't let me
choose a partition, or why it isn't even recognising any drives. Thanks for any
help on this matter, as I really need this to be sorted soon!
