Hi - can someone help please.......

I had XP Pro installed on my C:\ drive, and I replaced it with RC1 of Vitsa, doing a clean install.

I've been given a formatted hard disk, connected up as my D:\ drive, and I'd like to reinstall XP Pro onto it, and be able to choose which OS I boot into.

However, when I insert the XP installation disk, I get the initial options menu, but when I select 'Install XP Professional', nothing at all happens.

If I swap the hard drives around, so that the PC boots into the new formatted drive, I get a message when booting up saying 'OS not found', and can get no further. This happens whether or not I boot up with the XP Installation disc in the drive.

My C:\ drive (with Vista) is a Seagate 160Mb, and the second drive is a WD 160Gb.

As far as I can tell, the BIOS is set to look at the DVD & CD drives first at boot up.

I've run a WD diagnostic check on the new hard disk, and it seems ok.

I don't have any other disks/floppys, and don't have a floppy disc drive

Sorry, but I'm not sure what other information you might need.

Can someone offer some help please? mellow.gif
