Hi. So please bear with me as i am barely computer literate and i apologize in advance if this has bern asked and answered I have been stuck for 2 weeks now trying to reinstall windows xp. I have a dell optiplex gx 260. The ha rd drive is a Maxtor 2f040l0. I do not have the original dell setup disk but have created a bootable USB from a iso obtained from a friend who had an original copy of xp. I think I set up bios correctly because my PC boots to the USB just fine. All the files load properly but after it says its starting windows I get an error that says windows stops to prevent damage...if this is the first time seeing this restart the PC....it goes on to suggest running chckdsk/F...then gives the following error codes :
0x0000007B ( 0xf741524, 0x0000034,0x0000000,0x0000000)
Can someone please guide me on how to fix this? Once again I'm barely literate on all things PC so if you can be as basic as possible I would be eternally greatful. Thanks in advance for your time and expertise. I really want to get this thing going I plan to donate it to a local shelter here that helps Women and Children escaping domestic violence.. Thanks again for helping support this cause!
