Hi, I am trying to install Windows XP 64 bit on my computer. Clean install. I have two different versions. 2 different iso files of the same system and neither will work.
HOWEVER, both work completely fine in virtualization with the program "VMWare" and both will start to install when I burn the iso files to disc but it will fail the setup around the beginning. Also, when I try to put the ISO files on a USB flash drive, my computer says the error in the photo below. [I changed my boot order to read from USB first and this is the screen I got - I know there's a dang OS there, lol]
-
So what this means, is apparently when it comes to an actual physical computer, I can't do a clean install of this. Apparently if I already had and threw windows 98 or windows 2000 on it and put the iso file on it and extracted it with winrar and double clicked on the setup.exe file and did it that way like an upgrade, it works like a charm.
I'm kind of at a loss. A ton of other ISO to USB burners even say the ISO is invalid. But I do a 32 bit, perfect.
Perhaps someone can not just help me, but maybe provide some insight?
Thank you.
