Guest michpage02 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I get a message on windows setup to insert a disc, when the disc I'm using has been used to intall windows before. It is a HOME SP2 edition and has upgrade on it, does that makes any difference? It boots from disc to check pc, but then i get that once at install. Thanks please help

Guest Ron Badour Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Re: XP DISC PROBLEM I assume that you are trying to install XP on a hard drive that does not have a system on it. If so, the *upgrade* version looks for a qualifying system to upgrade and not finding one, it tells you to insert a disk (like a W98 system disk) of a qualifying system. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 "michpage02" <michpage02@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C780E296-484F-466B-B106-58ABC8225B0B@microsoft.com... >I get a message on windows setup to insert a disc, when the disc I'm using > has been used to intall windows before.
