Ok the subject was vague to what my problem is. I bought a used computer that was working fine from a friend for my son. It is a AMD Athalon K7600MTR51B @ 600mhz. I was cleaning the inside because it was very dusty. I accidently ended up frying the CDROM, hard drive and floppy. No use for the floppy so I left that put in a 80 GB Western Digital Hard drive and a LG GSA 4167B combo drive. So this computer I have working already has windows xp home ed and has the recovery drive so when I bought the system I didnt get a windows disk. So I looked for a windows xp to put on that system via torrents and i tried downloaded this one hxxp://www.mininova.org/tor/282307 so I tried burning it to DVD with nero and didnt work then I found where it says to burn a bootable disk so I tried burning it that way. Well it recognized the disk but takes me to this on the screen [DR-DOS] A:\> So I have no idea how to correct this problem or what I am doing wrong. Not sure if I am burning wrong, have the wrong windows version or what. So basically any assistance anyone can give me is greatly appreciated. If there is somewhere I can download the proper version and the step by step with Nero to burn it properly and if it should matter if I burn to DVD or CD. Thanks again.
Is it even possible as well to copy windows from this computer to disk and then on to the other computer.
well i dont think anyone is going to help you since you pirated the version of windows. but to answer your question i dont believe you can copy windows from one hard drive to another.
all i can say, get a new floppy drive...... and thats all the info im gonna say, since of course yeah, you mentioned a pirated version of windows
