Installed kubuntu unix on hard drive removed everything before doing so and worked fine.Im now going to sell pc to friend and she would like windows installed back to hard drive (windows xp media center edition 2005 OEM) that i have on disk. When i try to boot xp from disk nothing happens so i thought to solve problem i will install new hard drive and boot from disk again, but it will not boot from cd the new hard drive is detected in bios and is all set up to boot from cd then hard drive.
Tried unix cd and that boots fine tried xp on diferent and pc and it works fine
Help please
Pc will not boot windows after unix install?
This is a bit of a guess but if you installed Ubuntu and used the entire drive for the install I suspect you may have deleted the hidden partition that has the OEM copy of windows on it, the windows CD you are using is possibly only a restore CD so there is nothing to restore, if this is the case you would need to install a full copy of Windows.
