Then I find out that the harddrive was completely dead and needs a new hard drive.
I got a new one eventually. I installed it to my pc and pulled out my Windows xp pro installation disc. I chose my 80 GB harddrive and installed the first layer of the setup and computer wanted me to reboot. And here is the problem.. And when i reboot it just says "Error loading operating system" or just gives a white blinking dash in the corner instead of continuing the setup. I tried so many windows xp installation discs. Windows xp home premium, windows xp 64 bit, even windows longhorn reloaded.

Can someone help me? All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic. Replies Thereal-dbk 5 Rhenium. This method here explains all the aspects which should be considered while selecting an operating system for your device. As mentioned above, requirements or in other words system requirement is the key feature that helps you to select a particular operating system for your device. Every working operating system in the market has its own particular set of system requirements.
A device fulfilling all of them can run those operating systems. Here are some of those key requirements. Mere downloading and then installing the operating system for a successful run is now outdated. As for now, you have to buy the operating system license. The free versions are not available and would only support your device for a few days.
Alter on, you have to add the license key to the system for getting your hands on the full functionality of the operating system. In the case of other operating systems like Linux, it is free to download and install.
Some of its enterprise versions are closed. The operating system and the programs you want to use should be compatible with each other. For instance, if you are using Microsoft office and you want it to run on Linux as an operating system, then it is not possible.
For every operating system, programs are different and substitutes are available with limited functionality. There are various ways to obtain a new operating system. Getting it from the stores would be in the form of an installation disc along with a product key. Insert the disc and product key in the wizard to install the operating system.
Another way is to get the product key and download the compatible version of the operating system online from the official website. In case, if you are shifting to another device, or creating a system image backup for your operating system to be saved on a new hard drive, creating a backup is mandatory.
Backup all the programs, documents, media files, and all related downloadable content so that you can transfer it to the new hard drive. Creating a system image backup via a third party application software is your deal.
It will back up all the data present on the system including the system files, application, system drivers, and updates. It omits the step of reinstallation. Here is what you have to do in detail. Installing a single operating system is easy. But if you want to run dual operating systems on your device, you have to prioritize the installation.
Sorry for all the posts I searched the web for the Pxe-e61 message and it means an OS cannot be found and it's trying to boot from a network. I checked to make sure there was no! I do Have the Network adapter and floppy disabled with the! I don't understand if I can copy files to the hard drive with NTFS4dos program, why can't windows setup wright to the hard drive or when I boot with out a cd why can't it see a hard drive Thanks for the help Ken.
Ken, I have an idea. Are you familiar with Ubuntu at all? If you want to try this, go to ubuntu. Then boot it to your PC, it will allow you to run it without installing or it can be installed to the HDD.
Then you can see if it will boot from the HDD. Ok , I am throwing in the towel and admitting defeat! I have come to the conclusion that the controller is bad on the mother board. Windows xp will not load, Ubuntu will not run. I do have a question through if anyone can answer. I find each one but there is not a lot of information for ether one.
Ken, Sorry we couldn't fix the problem, but you gave it the old college try. I checked Yahoo and I found that the Hal20 is used on the dv series, so it should fit. All you have to worry about is drivers. Can you return the board if it doesn't work? You must log in or register to reply here.
