tech291083 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi, I want to remove Fedora core 5 32 bit os on my pc and install Win XP. Can any one help me please as when I insert the Win XP cd and boot the pc with it there comes a message on the screen like "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" then the computer hangs for a long time nothing happens. Any idea why it happens? The cd is already working fine and not damanged or anything. The pc has only one hard disk and only Fedora on it with no partition. Thanks.

ffi Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Is it an old version of XP (ie without SP2 ) and a new computer because it might be a driver problem... In SP2 a lot of SATA stuff was added. Edited January 7, 2007 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) You can slipstream service pack 2 to your windows installation medium rather easily, e.g. following that guide... but you'll need windows 2000 or XP running to some computer.

There's a much easier method to slipstream, which just requires isobuster, or something to extract the boot portion of the CD and the rest of the CD to a folder. Manual, yes, but at least doesn't require Windows then :) Unless of course the sp2 extraction and applying to the folder doesn't work under wine.
