Thread: Set up XP on laptop.

Hello I Nc400 Compaq laptop. I use it for the last two months. I recently had problems with my laptop. It feels much the virus has been there for the system. Every time I start my computer an error pops up on Windows has encountered a serious problem. Later, I tried to reinstall Windows XP, USB drive, but does not work. I tried to copy the XP CD to the USB drive, but still does not work. I put the USB before it is reused, but not display anything. Please let me know how I can solve this problem and will be able to install XP.

Hey, look at your case, you will surely know the answer. First, do not attempt to install XP via a USB key. As with XP reinstall USB drive does not work. It could be a problem with your CD so that it could not detect the CD. Buy a new DVD ROM drive or one that works properly. Set up on your machine, immediately or via a USB external case. After set up the DVD-ROM, insert the XP CD in the ROM and boot the machine.
