Operating Reinstallation Gets Stuck at the EULA [F8] Screen.

Problem:- When you boot your computer using the Win Xp Cd the installtion gets Stuck on the were you have to press the F8 Key (Its called the EULA Screen Full Form of EULA: End User License Agreement)

Resolution:-

1) Shut Down the computer (To Avoid any type of Electrical Shock)

2) Remove non-essential peripherals

Except for the Power Cords for System (Tower) & Monitor, Monitor Cables (DVI / Analog), keyboard, and mouse, remove all external peripherals including:

·                     Scanner

·                     Printer

·                     Modem or Network cables

·                     Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)

·                     USB flash drive or other external Hard Drive

·                     Any other external devices (e.g., USB-attached devices)

·                     Remove the computer from the docking station, if you are using one.

3) Boot the Computer Keep Tapping F2 to go into BIOS and Change the First Boot Sequence from HDD to CD / DVD Drive ( I would personally Suggest the F2 Option for booting the computer with Win XP CD though you can use the one time Boot menu by pressing F12. Trust me it’s a pain over the years when I have asked my customer to boot the computer using the F12 option the customer would keeping missing the screen “Press Any Key to boot” at the end the customer gets frustrated. The other reason why I don’t like the F12 Option is simple if the customer is able to boot the computer using the F12 the installing gets stuck at the EULA Screen because most of the time customer will press the key longer when he / she gets a message “Press Any Key to boot”)

4) The installation also may get stuck at the EULA [F8] Screen if your Key Board has a F-Lock Key make sure its Turned On
