Hi, I'm trying to install windows XP pro on Dell Latitude D400 notebook using usb 8gb flash pen drive. When i choose "1st, text mode setup" it hangs on "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration".... And when i try the DEBUG option i get this "debug boot rdisk 2 partition 4 I/O Error accessing boot sector file multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\BOOTSECT.DOS"
Any help with this would make my daughter stop pestering me to fix it...
you are booting the usb stick?
why are you not using the dell recovery dvd or partition to restore xp?Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
Yes I am booting from the usb stick. I have no recovery dvd, plus i have no dvd drive to put any such disk into. I have not come across a partition to restore?
