Naughty Dog Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hello, Firstly I would like to say that I have read around the internet, including here, for tutorials and help but nothing seems to work for me. Secondly and lastly, I own the disc myself and yes I have a product key. I have tried creating an ISO to burn, but whenever I attempt to boot it up, I get a black screen with a white cursor endlessly blinking. This is how I typically make copies of install discs but mostly how I burn Linux DVDs...however, it doesn't work with WinXP. Next I tried copying the folder contents of my disk and following this guide; http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/11190-how-to-create-a-windows-xp-installation-disc-bootable-using-imgburn/ but this time, I get some really odd issues. Whenver the disk is in the drive, the screen freezes and unfreezes if I open up the drive door. While it is frozen, things are still moving forward though....if that makes sense? I tested the disk on my desktop and when I pop it into the drive, a window pops up asking me if I want to run the XP set up, so I assume I'm doing something right? My BIOS settings (ON MY hp 620): UEFI Mode SATA Mode: IDE (for installation of XP) BOOT (first) from Optical Drive Is it because I need a bootable ima of WinXP Pro 64bit because the disc I have is 64bit? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you. ND~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If you already own a Windows XP install disc, why are you following a guide to build a new one? For the purposes of just checking to see if you machine will boot one of them full stop, see what happens when you put your original one in the drive. If that boots up ok, there should be no reason a custom/updated one shouldn't boot... in which case, please post the log of you building/burning/verifying the disc.

Naughty Dog Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hello, If you already own a Windows XP install disc, why are you following a guide to build a new one?For the purposes of just checking to see if you machine will boot one of them full stop, see what happens when you put your original one in the drive. If that boots up ok, there should be no reason a custom/updated one shouldn't boot... in which case, please post the log of you building/burning/verifying the disc. The original disk is snapped at the center and when I put it into the drive, it rattles and grinds. Since I have had previous mishaps with disks, I always make copies of my things. Is it possible to find previous log files, or must I reburn again to get the same log file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Do you have access to any other PCs you could try the disc in? If they do the same thing, one would assume the disc is at fault. If they don't, it's probably a setting on your machine somewhere (UEFI / BIOS related). Going back to your original disc... even with the rattling and grinding, does it actually boot?

Naughty Dog Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I have access to many other computers, I will try it out (I did test the disks on other computers while they were already on and the "setup" screen came up). I thought it might have been the disks so I tried different brands and the like. The last was a Sony 4.7GB disk. It boots, but doesn't go far. It gets stuck on the Windows installation screen. For my BIOS, I set it up to IDE to allow instalalation of XP and put Optical Disk Drive as Boot Option #1. I can select the Optical Drive and "load" into it, but the black screen appears. When I try out burned Ubuntu disks, it works fine. All "non-burned" disks work fine as well. Edited May 9, 2014 by Naughty Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
