YES. Disable AHCI, boot from the XP CD, and run the installation.Quote:
When I disabled AHCI and reboot, it says there is a problem. You mean at this stage, I need to pop in my XP disk and reboot with the XP disk to install ?

Ooops ! Maybe spoke too soon. The new install was working ok since my last post until now. So not sure if the stauts Resolved whould be left here or I should start a new thread.
Moderatpr - Please just do what is needed.
I juist tried to boot up and all I get is the screen giving all the options from Safe Mode, Start from last known good config, Start normally....
When I choose either one of these, it reboot and then present me the same page again. So I can't do anything except when it reboot, it shows the Windows XP logo page
before showing the option and on the Windows XP page, I was able to press the Enter key to show a Menu and after I I selected and ran the diagnosti, it does not show any result as to why this problem is.
What should I do next please ? Any advise greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advanced.
I edited the resolve out. As it is the same problem as I see it.
What was the last change you made?
No one has any suggestion how I can get into Safe Mode to delete the past program installed short of reinstalling XP again - if I still can boot from a USB DVD drive ?
Shutdown, wait one minute at least.
Now bootup and tap F8
See if that works.
I would.Quote:
Should I try booting from the XP CD and do a repair ?
Ran the repair and all it did was somehow deleted all the start up options that were there before - ie safe mode, last good config, etc. Now what it is doing is a loop between showing Windows Start Up page, then black blank screen and few seconds later, the Windows Start Up page again and back to the blank page and repeat....:(
Looks like I have to reinstall XP all over again ?
That's probably your best option at this point. I already posted a link about clean installing XP in post #18
