kidblade= what if imong bios dili mo support ug booting from usb, will this still work?

hard disk problem... 100% sure! need to replace the drive then reinstall OS.

since it has a floppy drive then utilize it. it's a little tricky... use your imagination on how to do it which i think you can. start with the fdd...

or maybe this link can help you... Boot From A USB Flash Drive

goodluck!

dali ra man ni bro pero dapat naa siya lain nga PC or notebook para magamit niya to format the floppy and copying of xp installation files...

1 - ilisan niya iya hdd
2 - format fdd using another PC with system files and format.com, sys.com, fdisk.com plus other files needed in formatting the hdd (of course with system files)
3 - try rebooting using the hdd (dapat naa command prompt... or naka-DOS lang)
4 - take-out the hdd then connect it to an external adaptor then copy the installer files
5 - reconnect hdd then boot
6 - at DOS run the setup.exe

i hope this will work but i know on Windows 98 before, this is what i am doing everytime a notebook or PC bugs down...

maayo ug makatabang bisan gamay...

best regards!
