    what exactly is it doing?
    TRAVIS says:
    it says that the hard drive does not have a fat 32 or fat 16 file system and that it either has ntfs or hpfs but you said that your mom had windows xp so it has to be ntfs so that means i have to set up a ms-dos boot partition or some shit but i dont have a floppy and i dont even no if thats the problem
    TRAVIS says:
    and thats about the gist of it
    TRAVIS says:
    yikes
