I have a new HP 110-014 running Windows 8.
Software for our retail store catalog/ordering system will not operate on W-8; I must have either XP Pro or Windows 7 Pro.
I want to keep the Seagate Hard Drive that came with the computer intact so have removed and replaced it with a new Western Digital WD Green, 1 Tbyte hard drive.
When I try to load either XP Pro or W 7 Pro onto it I get this message:
<< Error: No boot disk detected or the disk has failed >>
I know the CD works; I know the OS discs are good.
I tried disabling the secure boot feature, makes no difference. I changed boot order so that USB Floppy/CD is first, makes no difference.
Any help?
