Guys - I need some help on this one...
I just purchased a new custom-built gaming rig that was shipped with
Vista. After experiencing all the headaches and non-working apps, I
decided to wipe Vista and install XP. To do it properly I had to
eradicate all traces of Vista using Killdisk. I installed XP SR2 and
all drivers on the virgin system, however it will not boot without my
XP System disk in the dvd drive. If I attempt to boot without the
disk, it initiates the bios screen which is followed an all black
screen with a single flashing cursor... and sits there until I reboot
with the CD in.
With the CD in, it asks to boot from cd, which I do not and then XP
boots normally. This isn't a deal-killer but obviously isn't correct.
Any help on this ?
Thanks in advance...
