I ran DBAN to erase a 160GB Maxtor HD and that worked fine but now I can't reinstall the OS (XP home). The Windows CD runs ok and seems to load various drivers but I quickly get a message saying that it can't install because no hard drive is detected. I went into the BIOS and the hard drive doesn't appear there (only the CD drive).
The PC was split new and all I've done is run DBAN so I can't believe that it's a hardware or connection problem. The only thing that occurs to me is that the XP installation disk came with the PC. Would you normally be able just to reinstall XP straight away after using DBAN?
Can anyone assist?
Many thanks in advance.
