Open bios, set date and time FIRST.

Open bios, use drive auto detect.

Open bios, set disk drive to boot first.
Put windows disk in the drive, select "upgrade."
This replaces the OS without erasing the files or programs. Also, configures the hardware...

Hi Sound guruman

Well i did set the bios to boot the install cd. After going to install page and attempting an upgrade.......i receive a "compatibility report' page . telling me i must restart the mchine so windows starts normally.
Then continue by reinserting the disk .and restart the upgrade.

Im stuck in a loop. Are there any other tricks we can do?

I thought. To purchase a new drive for C and. Clean install on the new disk. I dont wish to format. My current drive.
