I have to reinstall Windows XP on my old PC. Installing via USB is the only option - the CD/DVD drive doesn't work anymore, as well as the floppy drive and the computer can't start, the startup just keep looping endlessly.
I made a bootable Windows XP flash drive from my laptop, I tested booting the USB on the laptop and it worked fine, the Windows XP setup started normally.
I plugged the USB in my PC, I adjusted the BIOS boot order accordingly, and the PC refuses to boot the flash drive.
Then I removed all options from the BIOS menu, and I left out USB as the only option (I removed floppy, CD, HDD) to force my PC to boot the USB.
I get:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media. Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key."
What can I do?
