Formatted hdd, tried to instal win xp, errors out. Help.
So a friend of mine had to format his hdd and hes having some issues, when he tries to install winxp he gets an error: "Setup cannot install cmnicfg.xml" and it says "this happens when trying to install over a newer copy of windows"
How could he be trying to install over a newer copy of windows when the hdd was formatted and was wiped clean? Is it something wrong with the boot sector? Any idea how he can fix this?
