And another one http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp !!!
During installation windows loads files needed for installation in ram (well not all of them) but before you try one more time swich off computer and unplug it from electricity socket and leave it couple of hours then try again. I must say it helped me couple of times because some files or whatever get stack in ram and if you try constantly you will get diferent error messages every time you try to load windows. The second thing your CD-rom or IDE cable connecting Cd-rom and mobo maybe is faulty. So I'm trying to tell you to look both ways memory or CD_rom!!! And this is from my own expirience installing XP Media Centre on couple of machines!!! Last edited by macko72; 04-01-2005 at 05:08 PM. |
