Windows XP CD wont boot

(1/4) > >>

Glox:
Im trying to reformat my parents computer that got lol virused and I cant get it to boot off my XP cd.

I do the whole f12 thing and it wont load. Says f1 to retry and f2 for setup. I deactivated harddrive and floppy booting so its just on the CD. I used this CD to reformat my comp numerous times and that comp too so Im pretty sure the CD is good.

brdmichaud:
Disc may be licensed for your comp only.....

pixiestyx:
no brd, you're not on the same page.  he hasn't even gotten to the installation part yet, still trying just to boot off cd.  I'm not the person to talk to about it, where's banem and ding?

Glox:
I might just buy a new hard drive for the old comp and save myself the trouble.

I guess it could be the virus somehow screwing things up. AVG won't get rid of it. Ad-Aware doesn't seem to help either. Comp gets constant popups and slows down to a crawl. Annoying!

fury:
will it run W7 or is it too old?
