    Default trying to install xp wtf

    the partition was deleted then I formated the drive to ntfs. Now when I try to install windows xp i get pxe-e61: media test failure reboot and select proper boot device. My boot order is 1 cd drive 2 harddrive

    I am trying to install with my 2nd burned copy of xp and neither will load. Is it possible that the discs im using dont work well with isos or something.

    You computer is trying to boot off of the LAN. "PXE" ("pixie") booting is a LAN based booting rom built-in to NIC cards to allow for booting a network OS etc.

    Try resetting your bios to default and see if it will boot.
