Ok, I installed the OS...or tried to.
I'd install it in XP, then it would reboot after about 27% of 'expanding
files' and give me a boot configuration error (boot.cfm?) where normally
you'd see the boot menu.
This would happen no matter which partition/drive I targetted it to.
I did a Google and it said something about legacy or something or other.
What the heck is the reason it won't install? |

That is about the point of the first reboot and suggests to me that you need
to supply hard drive controller drivers via the Load Drivers button. You
don't give any description of your system so I have to just guess.

Load Drivers button? I don't follow.

Thanks Colin, that's a great help. When I grow big enough balls to try this
again, I'll do exactly that.
Cheers. |

I tried your suggestion, and got the same problem. Here is the exact error:
It starts out by saying Windows could not start, which could be down to a
recent hardware change.
Then below that:
File: \boot\bcd
Status: 0xc000000e
info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
Does this help at all? |

Yup, I did, and it sent me, as I said elsewhere, on the right path.
