    Hi Guys,

    I would much appreciated any help from someone familiar with a fresh install of Windows XP on the Sager 9260 with no OS. I've just received the machine from XoticPC. The problem is I switch on the machine and everything is fine, it goes to the Sager startup screen, loading bar scrolls across, but then it put's up a message saying:

    Invalid system disk
    Replace the disk, and then press key

    The problem is I don't have a disk in there or anything else attached (e.g. USB, or external hard drive).

    I get this message with and without my window xp install disc. Can anyone tell me if there is something I need to do in the "Setup" page (which I can enter with F2 with no problem) to solve this.

    I've installed XP Pro before on a laptop before, but I haven't done it on a laptop which came with no OS. Is there something special I need to do or enable?

    Edit: It's okay it just started to work for no reason. Installing Windows now.

    Just out of curiosity, when did you order it?

    You must have just avoided the 7950 back order (delaying all shipments until end of september).
