Windows Forum / Windows XP / Setup and Deployment / January 2004stuck in XP install loop
reformatted hard drive, installed setup files, then prompted to restart computer but setup just starts all over. if I remove the cd during restart, then I just get the error message: "no operating system detected anywhere, hit any key to retry". but if i put the cd back in, setup starts all over, and so on and so on... any ideas?? thanks, damien Do not hit "any key" once setup begins. Windows XP will automatically boot from the CD Drive after it reboots the first time during setup.
