markpl Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hello,I have installed free limited version of Windows 2008 Server and now I would like to come back to Windows XP (or 2003). When I start my computer from install CD I get a memo that installing system does not see hard drive in this computer. That's weird because I have installed system from these CDs (I tried with XP and 2003 Server with the same result) on the same computer (laptop) several months ago. Any hints how I can handle with this problem? Thanks!Regards, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
