So i had to move to my old 4Gb computer :banghead:

this is my problem
I Installed Windows XP Home Edition to my laptop. It did restart after installing it and now it keep doing restarts. If I run my laptop only the first pic is showed and then it does restart, and so on... Do I have to go to setup or somewhere to fix it or only way to get of it is repair which is ripoff?
Idk if u got my problem lol...

I think that's what he means. Sorry for you, but youprobably screwed up your hard drive. Nothing left to do but reinstall windows xp. Be sure you format your hard drive. And see if that works. Post back here if it doesn't.

Bro, its still tough to understand u.
Ok, correct me if i am wrong. So all u comp does it keeps rebooting .. but u can go to Setup (F2) only.

Looks like u r booting options is set like this
CD - CD ROM DRIVE
HD - HARD DRIVE
FDD - FLOPPY DISK DRIVE

Now go back to settings, change the FIRST BOOT DEVICE to HARD DRIVE and save and restart.

If u say u have some other problem .... please specify clearly.

Nice, atleast v r on the right track.

Ok we have 2 choices,
1. U change ur hard drive, u might have to perform a new installation of Windows XP. Unless u get a factory imaged software... Is this a dell computer?
2. You can reinstall Windows XP on the same hard drive u have now.

I m attaching a link to Windows XP installation instructions.. its has pictures and descriptions, which should help u all the way to complete ur installation..... Windows XP Installation <CLICK ME>
The choice is urs..... just reply and lemme know.
