    Cannot Install OS

    It gets all the way through the install process, then restarts. If the CD drive is the first boot priority, I get the "Press Any Key" order. If the HD is the first boot priority, I just get a blank screen with a blinking cursor.

    Cannot Install OS

    I stand corrected. It goes all the way through the install process, then says "Windows must restart". When it restarts, there is just a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Changed boot order to hard drive, and that's all I get.

    Cannot Install OS

    I used Dban to reformat the hard drive. I'm not sure if it deleted both partitions, as it only gave me one choice to reformat the drive. Also, it gets past expanding files to installing files, then hangs (does not reboot). I am using a disc image. Have tried this with Windows XP, 7, and Vista...

    Playing games off an external hard drive or flash drive

    This will work for most games. Simply transfer the entire game file to your external drive. Open the folder and find the application link to start the game, or just place a shortcut on your desktop. As for the second part of your question, I don't know the answer. I have a hard enough time...

    Cannot Install OS

    When I try to install an OS on my HP/Compaq NX9030, it gets halfway through the install, then goes to the "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD drive...", then it stays on that screen. Pressing a key does nothing. This has happened with Win XP, 7, and Vista. Can someone please help?
