I&#8217;m mainly an apple user so i really don&#8217;t know much about pc&#8217;s. I inherited this laptop with a fried hard drive so i stuck in a new one and now im having trouble installing windows xp from cd. I booted the laptop from the cd and it goes into dos. Then I type &#8216;fdisk&#8217; and create a primary partition. It asks me if i want large disk support. I hit yes. Then it proceeds to partition the drive and verify it. It tells me that it is partition was successful and to reboot. I do this. Next i type &#8216;format c:\/s&#8217;. then it says &#8216;Warning all data on disk drive c will be lost. Proceed with format y\/n?&#8217; I hit y. Then it says &#8216;invalid device parameters from device driver&#8217; Anyone know what the problem is? I have searched and searched but cant seem to find the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated\n<\/td><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":46},"question-category":[],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-528","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=528"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
