I am new to the pc building world, and I have no clue how to set up bios. I have been leaving it on factory settings, and am trying to install a copy of xp on a hard drive that i reformatted. XP states it will reboot in 15 seconds and continue setup. It reboots, but then it goes to the screen that asks if I want to install, repair, or install nothing and restart...
How can I fix this?
( I have looked at the bios, but I don't know what to do)
