I was reinstalling Windows XP on an old laptop of my friends when the laptops power ran out at some point during the process!
After charging the laptop just will not proceed passed "HP invent Press <ESC> to change boot order..." etc, well it goes to a black screen then sort of loops.
I have tried to create my own bootable ISO Windows XP CD but had no luck! Tried it with NERO and others.
Currently trying to create a bootable flash drive, so I'll see where that takes me!
Can you please help me resolve this issue, the time I have to do this is reducing and my friend needs his laptop back!
NOTE:
Any person data does not need to be saved.
I'll be greatful for any help, I know this is probably a pretty easy fix but I can't afford a trial 'n error session with the amount of CDs I have.
Thanks!
