Hi:
I have a problem installing WinXP on this C500. I tried to upgrade from Win 2K using a thumb drive with the Install disc's image. Everything seemed to go well, except after the computer normally restarts to finish the process. It never came back around after POST, it either goes back to POST after attempting to boot, or after tweaking BIOS, it would say that the Operating System isn't found and hang there. I did buy a floppy drive to see if I can rescue it somehow, but it doesn't seem to recognize anything from USB in time to boot. Please help.
PS I've also looked around quite a bit for a solution to this issue but I can't find anything that quite addresses my question. Lay it on me thick; if I made a paperweight please tell me so, LOL.
