Hello,
Please do not miss my
previous post.
I created an alternative to the UBCD4W just for you!
It is a lightweight version but best of all I was able to use an OEM version of Windows XP without any difficulty.
So in addition to my previous post instructions please try this.........
Let's try to boot your computer using a
Boot CD.
Please print this guide for future reference!
You will need a blank CD, your Windows XP install disc, a clean computer and a flash drive.
Please follow the steps below and let me know if you were successful. Please tell me what error messages you got and/or what steps you got hung up on.
1. Download the PE Builder to your desktop
