I've removed everything off the HD and I want to install XP and Win7 later in dual boot. And now I can't install a OS.
Created a USB XP install which is fine because I've used it on another computer, and after the first reboot after copying files I get this error on the netbook
Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem Could not read from the selected boot disk check boot path and disk hardware.
Disk is set as IDE, tried cleaning the HD with Hirens boot cd and formatting it repeatedly without any luck.
Do you think I have somewhat killed my netbook or its hard drive? Is there a way to recover it? Before this it was fine.
Thanks for any help
