Can I just do a DOS format, and then install the WinXP. If yes, how?

I was able to get to the BIOS after hitting the <DEL> key. The pc was set to reboot from the floppy first. I changed that to reboot from CD instead. But, I am still facing the same problem. Sorry, but I have omitted to tell you that I have two drives beside th floppy. The E: CD burner; F: DVD...

Thanks for your reply, but before my pc starts, it's now giving me the choice to select either Win2000 or WinXP. If I select Win2000, it continues normally, and if I select WinXP, it goes to a DOS type page, and inform me that WinXP setup wasn't complete, asks me to insert CD, and press enter...

My home PC got infected with some spyware/virus and I want to do a windowsXP clean install after formatting the hard drive. My pentium4, 512 memory, 40gb hard drive, has windows 2000 professional installed in it. I got a copy of Windows XP, put it in the CD drive, and restarted my PC. The...

Thank you guys for your input. After many attempts trying to get something out of this card, I have decided to return. I will shop for another one. Any ideas on what would be a good card for me given that I need to use the card for capturing DV tapes, and burning them into a DVD as well as...

I am in North America, and I have the same sources you have : composite; cable/antenna; S-video. Since I have an antenna hooked to the card, I have slected the antenna source, and NTSC-M. However, it doesn't work. Even when I select cable, it doesn't work.

Well,... I am located in a residential area of a metropol, so, if there was no TV signal here, I would have known about it.

Sorry, but I don't have a TV!!

Thank you guys for your prompt response. Here are some further information: OS:Win2000 Application: PVR Plus (came with the card) MCE? not sure what that is! I have a small antena hooked to the card. Your help would be apreciated.

I bought a TV card (Xpert TV-PVR883), and installed it succesfully. However, I am not able to get any channel to appear on my screen. When I ran the autoscan, the application goes through some 100 channels, but can't locate any. I am also not able to hear any sound. I am suspecting that I didn't...

Hello Falks, Where can I read reviews regarding PC parts? What are the good sites out there? Thanks. AD:)

It was my DVD burner that was causing the problem. The moment I unplugged it, the problem went away. Thank you guys for the tips. Now I need to figure out why the DVD caused this issue because I need the DVD to be on. All I did when I installed it was to replace a CD drive I had with the DVD...

Thank you all for your input. I will try your suggestions, and let you know how it goes. Oh, and to answer your question kmcferrin, the problem didn't start right after installing the DVD. It worked normally for 3 or 4 days, they stopped.

Thanks for the tips. One question though. How can I try a bios reset without being able to get to the bios? Thanks!

I am experiencing a problem with my home PC. When I turn it on, all I get in the screen is a logo of the P4 (picture), and it freezes there. I can't even get to the bios. I am not sure if the mother board has a problem. I would appreciate it if you could help me with some hints on how to...
