Plastic Nev Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Hi and welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help. Have you set the disk drive in BIOS to be the first in the boot process? Is the disk you have a system recovery disk that came with the computer, or a full Microsoft Windows XP disk? Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.

maynardvdm Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Hi So you are trying to load Windows from the CD/DVD drive? Make sure the CD/DVD is set to boot first and press a key when it displays the prompt to boot from CD/DVD, then it should boot from the CD/DVD. Quote We are all members helping other members.

Plastic Nev Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Hi, the only thing I can see now is a faulty CD/DVD drive, as being the cause. You say you have tried different hard drives, so having been inside the case, check that all connections to the disk drive haven't been disturbed, and make sure they are correctly and fully pushed home, take each one off and inspect for bent or broken pins before fully pushing back on. If that doesn't help, then it just may be the drive itself has died. They can still run up and make the appropriate noises, but if the read head has burned out, it can't read the disk. Nev.

PJ2549 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Posted August 25, 2012 Yes that is what I thought, just hated to pull it all out again. Ok Thanks will give it a shot, not sure what else it could be other than that. Hi, the only thing I can see now is a faulty CD/DVD drive, as being the cause.
