Hey guys.
trying to reinstall windows on dell inspiron 6400.
i've connected the hd to another computer and formatted it from there.
re-connected it to my dell laptop and trid booting into windows xp installation from CD.
nothing happanes.
no "press any key to boot from cd" appears.
tried setting boot sequence in bios and also with quick boot menu selecting cd/dvd drive.
the xp disc is perfectly fine, tried booting from it in other laptop - works great.
tried also booting from usb flash drive - same thing, no message, nothing happens.
although in other laptop there was no problem booting from the same usb drive.
any ideas?
kind of lost here.
tried resetting the bios to its factory settings, didn;t help.
thanks
