Insert your Windows CD (for XP) or DVD (for Vista), reboot and follow the setup prompts to install the OS.
Hi Cressida,
As is the norm with me everything includes havoc, the W/XP was downloading nicely, when I got a reply, as to" will adjust screen for best definition", I tried to acknowledege the request, but could not get my keyboard to respond,
I was told I would only need a keyboard, no mouse,so I had to reboot, now I can still get into Bios, but nothing else, when I reboot all I get is blinking particle.
