Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Reinstallation DVD
I have a Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Reinstallation DVD that came with a Dell
Dimension 8400 but it won't perform a new installation. I finally got it to put Microsoft Windows XP
Professional on the computer after adjusting the boot sequence and trying a few times but I have no
Media Edition anymore. Every time I try a new installation I end up in some command line mode
that won't copy all the files. What good is a Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
Reinstallation DVD that won't work on the same computer it came with? Help would be appreciated.

I think message 1. Was a black screen and message 2. a blue screen.
Messages are not exact because I can’t remember:
-------------
1. Can’t find SATA 1 drive. Press F1 to continue or F2 for the Startup menu.
2. Windows could not find a drive to copy files from. Press Enter to reboot.
Anyway, I made the six floppy disks from a download (WindowsXP-KB310994-SP2-Pro-BootDisk-ENU.exe) and eventually got a copy of XP Professional on (at least part of one). I changed the boot sequence and switched to combination SATA and PATA at the startup menu.
