Problem:
No boot, blinking cursor on black screen
My setup:
Biostar A780L3B Motherboard
Athlon 645 cpu
Pareema 4gb 1333 ram
SanDisk Extreme 120GB SSD
More details:
I put my WinXP Pro SP1 installation disk into the DVD drive, formatted my SSD and it copied the Windows installation files at which point it needs to restart and boot from the SSD in order to continue with Windows installation... and this is when it just gives blinking cursor on blank screen.
I tried to google this problem but I am not very computer savvy and was not able to figure out what it is that I need to do in order to get it to boot.
If anybody could explain in simple terms or suggest what I should try, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.
