Having a little problem here installing windows.
First off, when I start the computer, at the part when it should say welcome, a box shows up and says
"This copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on.
Do you want to activate windows now?
If I choose yes, it just says Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit. When I click OK, the screen where u can choose ur account shows up, when I try to log in, the same box appears as earlier.
When I choose No, I hear a logging off sound, and the same part where u can choose ur account shows up, try to log in, the same box again.
So I decided to install a new copy of windows, not the same, but another windows, went to bios, chose boot option 1 as CD/DVD, but the Press any key to boot from CD/DVD is missing, it just doesn't show up. I even took away the whole option of booting from HD in bios, but it still boots to windows, wtf?
The computer is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo La 1703 and it has Win XP on it, the OS i'm trying to install, is Win vista.
I'm pretty sure the burner is fine and so is the DVD.
Sorry for my bad English.
