Hi,

I have had a problem with my pc which has resulted in me needing re-install XP from the cd.

When pc is booting up it does not seem to be accessing the cd and give the following error:

ABORT 11086, Source image file on target partition
***. ->

An error has been detected during image installation.
image name: YAPIC01H.GHO
Part name: WSA000AB.01
Destination: 1:2
WSE Path C:\Parts\WSE008AA.XX
Source drive C

***. ->
Current folder:
Volume in drive C is backup
Volume serial number is 2316-1CF0
Directory of C:\parts\WSA000AB.01
File not found

Pres any key to continue ........

Microsoft (r) windows 98
(c) copyright corp 1981-1999
Invalid command.com

Enter correct name of command interpreter (e.g. c:\command.com)


Not sure what I need to enter as correct name of command interpreter ??

Any advice would be great as am not sure if hard drive is completley trashed and needs relpacing ??

Thanks ..

Is your BIOS set to boot the CD drive prior to the hard drive?

I am struggling here as am not sure how to change this setting once I have hit f2 and am in there.

Any suggestions ??

Many thanks

It depends on your particular BIOS ... maybe Boot Order? or Drives?

If not what is your comp Make & model?

Hi,

It's a packard Bell Imeda ..

Thanks ...

assuming you haven't found the BIOS setting:

it is a Packard Bell iMedia #### ...do you know the #'s?

Just to add: my Hewlett Packard Vectra has the settings here:

Device Boot Order
Boot Menu for the Current Startup Only

The current startup Boot menu gives the order of devices which the PC
attempts to start or “boot” from (for example, the floppy drive first, the
CD-ROM drive second, the hard disk drive third, and lastly the
network). From this menu you can choose the device to boot from for
the current startup.

To Go to the Current
Startup’s Boot Menu
To go to the current startup Boot menu while the Vectra logo appears
on your display, press F8.

Boot Menu for the Default Startup

You can also enter the Setup program to change the boot order for all
startups. To do this, go to the “Boot Device Priority” submenu of the
Boot menu in the Setup program, accessed by pressing F2 at startup.
Boot Menu for Hard Disk Drives

In the Setup program, you can also select the hard disk drive to boot
from if there is more than one hard disk drive installed. To do this, go to
the “Hard Disk Drives” submenu of the Boot menu in the Setup
program.

NOTE If your PC comes with an IDE hard disk drive, it will by default boot from
the hard disk drive when you first start your PC.
