Hey i installed suse linux on both of my computer but now i would like to uninstall one and put back windows Xp ... but when i try to boot from cd it just show me a black screen in dos wha it try to detect my hardware .... anybody can help :) thanks
I ran into that once with installing Windows... it's something to do with an unsupported video card (assuming it's the same problem I had) - ie it was an onboard vid card, and the XP installer didn't know what to do with it. It was so long ago though I cannot remember the solution steps other than that it was a HUGE hassle to get WinXP re-installed. I gave up and just used Linux... was easier. It could also be issues with an old version of XP and missing SATA drivers - if you have a SATA drive of course... it could be some odd setting that was made in your BIOS... like oh.. I don't know... maybe boot sector virus protection is turned on... loads of possibilities... since you didn't give any information at all about the hardware (age and type) you're installing on, the error messages (if any)... without useful info like that, you're not going to get much help. Plus.. you're asking on a SUSE linux mailing list about how to install XP?
