I got a used Gateway LTU netbook and it had Ubuntu installed and because of that the recovery software and the OEM OS is gone so I need to use my Windows XP Home CD that I have but the problem is that when I boot up the computer and run the CD it loads the setup files but at the end where it's suppose to show something like press enter to install XP that screen doesn't show and shows a blue screen.

I think that the hard drive needs a raid but I don't have one. I can't find raid software so I can use it to install XP. C12Friedman Distinguished. Jan 25, 1, 0 21, Was the copy of XP you are trying to load purchased new or did it come with another machine?

There is no RAID configuration needed so that isn't an issue You're trying to load this from an external optical drive? Yes basicly the CD is a fresh copy of XP like you would buy at a store. I did setup on bios to load USB CD first then the hard drive so it does boot up and shows the blue screen where it loads setup but after everything loads a problem gets detected and blue screen shows. This happened even on a Sony laptop that I have that has Windows 7 on it. Someone said it might be a raid that I need to install while setup is loading but I don't have any disks for it.

I think newer machines have this problem apparently since the notebook I have has the same problem. But at least with my Sony it has a recovery program so I don't have to worry. The most likely factor I can come up with is either driver issues I don't think that's it though or hard drive issues.

I really don't think that my HDD is bad since if it was one world work fine expecialy the Sony notebook. I can only think that maybe Sony or Gateway made it so you can't delete or change the OS but when you use Ubuntu it seems like you can goto the partition and delete or so. So far everything is enabled except F12 Boot Menu.

Have you tried the D2D Disk to Disk recovery? Other than that, the only other thing I can think of is to try checking your boot order see where your HDD is in there. What is Disk to Disk? I don't think I have done that before.

How do I do that? Is it hard to do that? According to Gateway, "you can download drivers from the Gateway Driver Download Center using your computer serial number search or browse our site for product specific drivers.

So you are saying I have to get a new hard drive? Since Ubuntu works fine even the latest version but just trying to install Win XP doesn't work. I also tried to install Win Pro but that did the same thing. I don't know if I tried installing Win 7 or Win 8 if it will do the same though.

I know how it installs is different from XP and Pro. Nov 30, 18, 17, Read the txt files inside the rar file.
