Troubled XP installation
I'm installing Windows XP Prof SP2 in my old comp... When Installing, the comp comes out with a big dark blue screen that shouted to me a lot of technical jargon, and this thing: IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, blah blah,.... atapi.sys
Then I searched for Windows Troubleshooting and they said that this must have something to do with the DMA-Bus mastering... and must disable it... But how? This is the weirdest problem during installing, and sometimes installing network sections.... I believe it was not the NIC card actually, because I yanked it out and tried installing XP, but still the same thing... Mmmmmph...

Are you installing SP2 from Windows or are you installing it from a Windows CD with SP2 slipstreamed on it?

Yeah, I think it's already embedded with SP2. Is it wrong?

Formatted for almost a million times... well, there's nothing wrong with my hdd because I've already installed it before I bought a new comp in April 2004. Well, the last time I installed WinXP SP1 in my old comp is in Feb 2004... Then I tried installing WinXP with SP1 back last month and it says things like IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and such... then I brought back to the comp store and they tested it with SP2 and it said the same thing....

Oh, maybe. How do you test the ram-sticks? Is there a program to test them effectively, eh?
