I'm reinstalling Winbloze on a Dimension 8300 for a friend. I have a Dell Winbloze XP Professional CD, but I am not sure of whether it is from the Dimension 8300 or a Dimension 8200.
I get to the screen that gives these options:
ENTER - Install
R - Repair
F3 - Quit
Regardless of what keys I hit, nothing happens. The keyboard works; I tried two keyboards.
I do not own a Dell. I tried using my Winbloze XP Professional CD (The one that you'd buy off Newegg), and the install started when I hit enter.
Two questions:
1. How can I determine whether the CD is for the Dimension 8300 or 8200?
2. What is causing this problem?
