XP does not install properly

#76 (**permalink**) 07-24-2007, 07:56 AM

i can partition the main drive into 2 fine,
it also contains a 5gb section called EASI Configuration i was told to leave well alone, so i end up with a main C:\ 200gb Vista and a new D:\ 80gb called XP.

go to reboot twice then install XP it comes up with the blue XP installer and i tell it to install on the New partition D: it copies all the install files then reboots to do nothing at all! no XP Setup comes up to actualy install the OS, i can recover it back to vista and see the XP install files on the new drive so i formated all and tried again to get the same problem.

any help would be awesome as i'm stuck as hell!

Cheers

Mat
