Hi there,

I have an old HP media center PC that was originally running XP. It has now been upgraded to run windows 7, but this copy of windows 7 is needed now for a new PC build. I am trying to reinstall the copy of XP Media center edition 2005 on this pc however when I boot from a USB, it goes through some of the setup but then says: Setup cannot find End User Licensing Agreement, and then goes on to tell you to restart as setup cannot continue. I have read elsewhere that this may be down to the fact that the hard drive has been formatted to FAT32 using an operating system other than XP. I am wondering how to rectify this issue - how do i reformat the hard drive using the setup or otherwise?
Thanks,
Harry
 
Solution
When you start the setup, go into disk options, it will give you an option to wipe the drive and format it. That error sounds like it's coming from something else though.
