I have a XP Pro cd which includes SP1 and I have a serious install problem!
The computer is like this:
Processor: Intel Pentium II 300 MHz (clocked to 413 MHz)
Primary Master IDE HDD: 4 Gb Seagate
Primary Slave IDE HDD: 6 GB Quantum Fireball
Secondary Master IDE HDD: 10 GB Seagate
Secondary Slave IDE CD-Rom: Sony CD-Burner
I've tried to install WinXP on the PM (Primary Master) a couple of times,
first i formatted it, installed, and it worked fine, WinXP started as it
should, I logged in w/o any problem. Then I installed Alcohol 120% and needed
to reboot.
Then the problems came! When it tried to boot from the CD, it should try
from the PM but it just hung up... Nothing happened. I tried to install
again, preperation worked fine, but when it has copied the needed files to
the drive it restarts, to start the setup, but then it hung on the exact same
place!
NOTE! I formatted the disc with NTFS!
Then I tried to install again, but this time the format fails everytime, on
all discs!
And everytime i try to format it fails! I've tried with different sizes,
formats and nothing works!
It fails, what should I do?
