booting from XP cd
The problem you have is probably caused by a large harddisk ( 160GB) or a
S-ATA disk. For these disks you need a loader that overrides the BIOS, and that's exactly what the VISTA loader does. So, you in this situation you can never boot from CD. The solution is to remove the VISTA bootloader with VISTABOOT PRO downloadable at: www.pro-networks.org/vistabootpro With this program you can uninstall the loader, and use the CD bootfunctionalty again. Good luck, Cerberus. "yjk9" wrote: I can't boot from Windows XP cd. I need to uninstall Vista, can't think of any other way. Please help. |
