How do you install an OS on a blank HDD?
clintsonyakmaildevice asked:
Hi! I have a crappy old dell box (P2, 64MB RAM, 10gb HDD) & a MacBook Pro. Previously I had windows ‘98 on the dell, but I wanted to try something different so downloaded Xubuntu 7.0.4. I can copy that to the HDD or a blank CD to put in the dell but when I do that, if I start it up it just says “No Operating System Found” on the screen & it repeats that every time I press a Key. I copied the hard drive of the dell to my MBP before wiping it too, but now that I restore the dells HDD to its’ original way it still says “No OS Found” when I put it back in (I’m using an external firewire enclosure w/ my MBP).
So can anyone tell me how can I get Wins ‘98 or Xubuntu onto this thing?
(I also have the original (not pirated) install disks for Wins Me but not the rego key & I’ve tried about 5 other rego keys which haven’t worked after installing Wins Me)
Thanks!!
