hey guys,
the IT department for the company I work for gave me a gutted out HP desktop.
It's missing the hard drive and RAM, but everything else is intact.
I placed couple sticks of ram and a old hard drive I had kicking around.
I popped in my XP disc, in an attempt to reformat it.
But the computer does not give me the option to do so.
I tried configuring the bios (i.e. disabling Ethernet boot, setting CD-rom first for boot up priority, etc.) but I haven't had much luck.
Any suggestions?
I thought it'd be pretty straight forward...
thanks in advance
