Installing Windows XP Media Center Edition by .blade// on 12-10-2004 at 04:52 PM

I'm having quite a few problems, aren't I? :P

Yesterday I tried installing Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 on my main computer (already installed it on my seccondary) and I had a few problems. On my seccondary PC it asked for CD2 @ aprox. 38 min remaining in installation, with my primary it didn't, instead I got a pop-up box stating a problem with my tape driver :dodgy:. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do bcz now all it installed is Windows XP Pro. without media center or any of the features on CD 2 which is why I bothered to get it.


The PC is a Dell Dimesnsions 8200 from 2001
1.8 Ghz
256 mb DDR ram
DvD reader
DvD +/- R/Rw
80 GB HDD = Windows XP Professional (trying to install it here)
120 GB HDD = Microsoft Windows Codename Longhorn 4074

You could just copy everything from the hard drive of the secondary computer onto the one your trying to install it on.

Or do you have a tape drive, or anything tapeish in the computer that might need drivers.

I don't use Longhorn :P I use it as my seccondary HDD and once in a while show my friends Longhorn (I am using 55GB of 120GB on it)
