The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by RMNTX in Windows XP Operating System, Computer Hard Drives, Hardware Components
I have a Dell Dimension 8400 that will not boot up to the Resource DVD when turning on the computer. Details are listed below.
I replaced hard drive with a new one due to a system crash. When booting up the machine after install, the resource DVD will not start. I have gone to the boot menu and tried to manually do it with no luck. The machine is using two DVD devices (DVD Rom & RW DVD). I have disabled one of the DVD devices for testing and still no luck (I removed from Bios and cabling in the box). Then I thought of trying a work around method using windows 98 start-up disk and Im able to use the drive via the start-up disk, but the DVD wouldnt start (my guess something with the start-up disk doesnt support DVD). So, I thought Id install Windows 98 CD and do an upgrade from 98 to the copy of the Resource DVD (Win XP). I installed Win 98 without a problem. When I go to install the Resource DVD version, it goes though the first installation and everything works fine until the first reboot and then the system wont start the resource DVD to finish the install. Then I have to format the drive again and Ive tried this multiple different of ways. Ive even tried using a Windows XP upgrade disk to use with the Win 98 and I get the same results. I was also able to update the Bios with the latest version, so thats up to date. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Michael
