Hello,
check the jumper on the back of the cd/rom before you discard it . It should be set to Master before you discrd it. The jumper is a tiny clip that connects pins together. It is easy to pull this off and move it over to MA- master. Cable select can go out and seen like the cd/rom or even hard drive has died, when it actually has another rout of transportation for data. Cable select can burn out kind of like a fuse burning out. Master is another way for data to travel. just open the computer and look. This will cause alot of Hard drive errors such as can't boot into the Operating system or can't get my cd to play. It can even be intermitten errors not just total failure. Every one also needs to remember to Defrag and SCANDISK-Error checking for the hard drive. this will prolong the life.
Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0
Did you fix this? I have same problem.

Hey for you to be able to do dual boot in your machine. You have to either partition your drive or use to separate hard drives. Afterwards, install XP first and when it loads completely, reboot and install your vista. After boot OS installations are completely, u will get a DOS screen that allows you to choose with one you want to boot up in. XP will be referred to as "early version" |
