Things you will need are...

3. Save Settings and Exit.

5. "Boot From CD-ROM Windows XP" and Boot From CD/DVD ROM Vista...

6. "PRESS ANY KEY"

when i press enter it says that 'setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.' can anyone help?

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

@maciejlondyn There's a setting in your BIOS to switch from IDE to SATA. or SATA to IDE. you have a newer computer, and the new computers don't have the old hard drives, there SATA. windows xp can't install on these new hard drives. only IDE.

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

@orlandowwe9 If the CD is in the drive, make sure your BIOS is set to boot from the CD First.. then when you restart the computer, the comp should say, Please press Any key to boot from the CD Rom..

how do you get into the setup with the blue screen?

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

@PaNoUlhS100That's crazy, ... idk, ... I've had the computer crash, and also I've had a computer freeze durring the installation, ... but I've never heard of a computer crashing 3 times, with 3 different CD's. Maybe it's time for you to go out and buy a legit copy of Windows.
