can you please tell me how i can fix this it is not the cd becuase i used it on my ofther computer please can you tell me the problem
thanks Leon G,
I am guessing that you are using a pci-e video card?? If so, pci-e is not supported under sp1…that’s the issue here. Go to this site:http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/win…
follow the instuctions on how to make a sp2 disk and use that. All will be fine then.
for clean installation you will have to boot the computer from your O/S disc. And do not press the F6 next time just follow the installation guide.
Don’t Press F6 while xp set upis loading driver files.
That special driver option you are using networked , multiple hard drvies
Good Luck
if you are just tring to install a fresh copy theres no need to hit f6 just press f8 to agree . other then that just follow what the screen prompts .
