My dad's PC is on XP. Does it matter?
As a matter of stuff, I'm gonna put like the specs and everything...
Windows XP Home Service Pack 3
2.14GHZ DuoCore
2 Go RAM
300something nVidia 8800GS I think.
Kaspersky (deactivated)
MSE (activated)
MBAM (free version)
The PC would not boot.
Decided to run the recovery thing from the XP CD.
Still couldn't boot.
Clean install of Windows XP on formatted drive.
It would seem the install didn't complete.
Then the error appeared: Windows couldn't boot because the following file is missing or damaged: inf/biosinfo.inf.
Tried a couple of things to make it work.
- Copying the biosinfo.inf from the i8xx folder to the inf folder.
> Couldn't find the file.
- Removing the battery.
- Booting in Safe Mode
> No results.
I'm assuming maybe the install of XP failed after the copying of files for the install...
But I don't know.
So, I believe there is no Windows on the drive.
run ubuntu and see if the hdd is good, and then format the drive to ntfs but dont install ubuntu, then try installing windows.
and if that dun work install win7 (if the gfx card has 256mb of vram)
