I have 2 old Compaq computers that have the following serial numbers: 6X1A-JYFZ-80P4 AND 6X1A-JYFZ-80N1
All of them were running windows 2000 Professional, they had small hard disk capacity(20GB) actually they became too slow that I decided to reinstall the operating system but failed failed in both. it will display your hard disk had detected imminent failure replace the disk and try again.
so I decided to buy two hard disk all 80GB and install in both PC but when I tried to boot from XP setup disk, this time it brings the following msg in both PCs 'DS not installed, Insert OS Setup disk and press any key to continue'.
I failed to figure out the problem.
can any one help me out.
