Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM
No Emulation
press any key to continue
Truly, I did not want to continue..
Although I put the things in a proper order:
Boot-BIOS
1ATAPI CD-ROM
2IDE Hard Drive
3Removable device...
having in mind that somethin' unwelcomed might happened in the next phase of reinstalling win xp onto that computer with 512 MB of RAM and CPU intel pentium 2,80Ghz
mainboard-Asus
Hard disk Maxtor
My first thought was that there could have been sth wrong with CD ROM,
so I decided to put in my Mepis Linux LIVE CD and .. it worked perfectly well without any problems.
Then I changed WinXP CD, and tried with another on- but still the same prompt on display-
later the third WinXP CD - again the same, tried all CD's on another comp- they worked.
Now, I am wondering shall I just press any key and continue and see what happens or I will be facing even more serious problem somewhere through the reinstallation process..
just don't know.
and even though I have done that so many times before...
this is the first time I see this kind of message displayed.
for any sort of advice - thankful in advance
