Not really.
As the PC needs to identify both the HDD and the DVD ROM drive

 

SATA ONLY to now changed to "Disabled"
Any chance of any screenshots on how you have your devices connected

Where is this in the bios?

 

SATA ONLY to now changed to "Disabled" and XP install has come up

THANK YOU

 

I mean physical photos of the actual Shuttle PC and how your DVD-ROM and HDD are connected up etc.... Like how you did screenshots of your BIOS screens.

When you disabled the SATA ONLY did ou save the BIOS settings and let the PC power back up again ?

 

Okay. Now off to the PUB for a celebratary drink methinks.

 

Pity you not from down my neck of the woods, as it would have been my treat.

My sincere thanks for all your help.

last thing, do chose to create partition or delete or set windows XP on selected?

 

No worries. Keeps my skills in check. Luckily you were fourth right with putting screenshots up. That helped a lot.

Yep if I were in your neck of the woods then I would have popped round instead. Hopefully you learnt something from this. Oh just need to bear in mind that if you get any SATA HDDs then you need to re-enable that option in the BIOS.

 

If the HDD is not new then you need to make the decision about erasing/deleting all of the information off the disk?

If yo are deleting then you need to select delete and then create a new partition.

 

OK thanks. I let you go before you die of thirst.
Cheers
