Where can I find help for Windows XP Pro?
I have a HP M1070N Desktop Media Center. 10 years old. I decided to upgrade my RAM. It had 4x 256 installed. I went to Crucial.com, and used the RAM scanner. After, it found what was installed, it showed how much more RAM I could add. A total of 4 GB. So, I ordered two 1GB sticks. After the new RAM arrived, I installed the 2 new 1 GB sticks. The slots were two different colors. Two were blue and two were black. I removed both old 256 sticks from the blue colored slots. Then, replaced with the 2 new 1 GB sticks. I started the computer and it started to go into windows, but then the screen went black. A message appeared.
Here's what it reads:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key."
I restarted the computer again... same thing. With another restart, I tapped F1 to enter BIOS setup. There I checked the boot order. The first boot device is the HDD. I have only one HDD.
Since it's an HP build, I suspect the system is locking me out from making any hardware changes. But, I don't know for sure.
The only software I have is the HP recovery 2 CD set. I do not have a retail copy of Windows XP Pro Media Center 2002.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks, in advance! :)
