Bought an old PC, tried to install windows XP. No go. 'BootMGR cannot be found'. The only way round it proved to be to install Windows7. Which revealed among other things that the hard disk, supposedly clean, is cluttered up with loads of crap.
What I'd like to do, if possible, is format the HD then instal XP. I have the discs. But I seem to remember that you have to do some kind of special format command (in DOS) to make this possible. Can't find anything about it by googling, so I thought I'd ask here, where I always seem to get answers even I can understand.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
