Hey every1,
i am a newbie when i comes to installing operating systems, but i though id give it a go..
what i am trying to do is install XP on a laptop (compaq presario C731TU) and i have followed all the instructions i can conserning this (DUAL-BOOT?) and have come across a problem??
when i run the setup.exe from the (XP home edition SP2) disk in bios, the setup initialises and i select the partition i made, the then it installs some files to that partition. after that has finished the computer restarts and asks me to do the same thing again?????
is there a solution to this ?????
thanks in advance =D

It seems to me that your hitting the Press Any Key again, that's why you are in the loop. Only hit it once...

Nope, sorry, this did not fix the prob....
because when i wait it sais NTLDR is missing????????
Thanks for trying :) muchly appreciated
