    I've uploaded two discs now and they both give the same result error. After uploading the cd drive opened on the laptop so presumably loaded ok

    The pc was 269 with mouse & keyboard and windows 8.1. I don't need the mouse & keyboard

    Have you removed, cleaned and replaced the RAM modules?

    You did not need to burn two discs. Just tick the option to verify before burning, to ensure that the burn is correct.

    I've verified sea tools cd but can't get that to work at all. Taken out ram and cleaned with eraser. Then tried to reboot from cd, still getting the error loading message. Then tried to use the original windows Xp disc and got to the exact same place error loading cd. Think will have to give up. I know with nd help will get there in the end but other half just wants to go and get a new one so will give up. Thanks for your patience and help.

    Not a problem.

    I don't think much of the tower about which you asked. .

    This Medion though a Refurb, is better value at £238.49
