On the first page, do you see the hard drive inside? You should have your CD drive but also a hard drive, for example, primary slave Segate 60GB. -- Everything comes to those who wait.
This means that your hard drive cannot read, so it is impossible to boot from it. Have you checked its presence in the BIOS, and is it active with its brand and everything needed? What is your hardware as well, that can help a lot. -- All good things come to those who wait.
I'm the same, I went into the BIOS of a Compaq and went to the startup options blah blah blah... new detected etc... and then the choices were start normally, last good configuration, safe mode, and safe mode with command prompt, and it gets stuck at this part in Windows XP Pro.
Hello, You need to install Ubuntu with a LIVE CD and then back up all your data so you don't lose it and can reinstall it later. Delete all the partitions on the hard drive. Perform a complete formatting. Insert your XP Pro Pack 3 CD and see.

But we are going to lose all our data, right? I mean, is it going to format the hard drives or is it just going to restart normally??
Hello, I have the same problem since this morning, I'm using Vista when I enter the BIOS it's in English so I'm lost how do I reset the BIOS to default? Thank you
