How I install win xp in my laptop?
The laptop is a dell c400. I have tried booting it from a usb floppy drive, pcmcia cd rom and a usb cd rom and none of them work. I have tried to pxe boot it and deploy windows xp using remote install services but that would not work either. I later found out that the bios version a03 does not work correctly when pxe booting. I cannot update the bios as I cant boot from floppy or cd rom. I have tried putting the laptops hard drive into my pc, installed windows xp and put it back into the laptop but it would not boot up. it just hung at mup.sys. I am pulling my hair out with this laptop. I have thought about copying the i386 folder onto the hard drive and installing it from there. how can I get the hard drive to boot into dos and then I can run ntsetup.exe from the i386 folder. any help will be much appreciated! I am running out of ideas!
^ as the said - try going into the BIOS and changing the boot order, so that whatever device you are trying to boot from is first on the list. If you are trying from a USB drive you may have to turn off everything but that to get it to work. Had to do that on an older gateway laptop. after windows is installed then you can change the boot order back.
did you try changing the boot sequence
like change it to where it boots from the CDROM and then the HDD
