finished installing my cd, i get blue screen

[XtremeMaC]

i doubt there is any problems with the file, it verifies during the extraction. but if u want u can dl it from MS. (the IT version)

try the guide I've given above.

well okay 1 other thing, maybe u're hdd has bad sectors? I doubt but still

any brands u know of your components? (maybe some of them have known solutions?)

I would have contacted MS by now

[Adiel]

mmm i got no bad sectors on my disc :|

and its worth a try to download SP2 from another location and try again?

[XtremeMaC]

okay well i think if u could answer and follow my questions and advices we're going to get to the result sooner.

as far as I see not so many ppl have a similar problem with the sp2 integration, u're either doing it wrong, or u have a problem with the hardware config.

I dunno check your bios, check your rams,

did u try installing sp2 on a working sp1 install? if so do u get the same error?

which version of vpc or vmware are u running?

is your xp cd oem? (like is it from dell or compaq or whatever?)

is your xp legit?

did u choose scsi interface on vpc or vmware?

ok I'm running out of answers someone else pls take a look at the issue

also go to MS newgroups and try posting it there,

your blue screen error report states that there could be virus in your boot, so go to bios enable / disable the check bios for virus thingy.

u can make a winpe cd or something similar and run a virus program

or if u have a bootable virus program's cd u can try that..

are u trying this on vpc vmware or real pc?

if u don't give answers to some question I'm going to ask them over and over again bc they are important in solving the matter!

this real pc or vpc is important.

well i used the guide I've given and tested both english and turkish versions of xp. they are working just fine in vmware and real pc's, since vmware and vpc put the same hardware in the test machines i would think that again either u're not configuring the virtual test machine properly or u're sp2 integration or your sp2.exe is faulty.

if I had this problem on my machine and If i wanted sp2 i'd definitely dl the file again. I've dl from MS's IT version with flashget on a 256kbit dsl connection in no time. i think u can give it a try.

what kind of connection do u have? can u dl it?

hi bro , heres all your answeres:

-i did tried installing sp2 on my own win xp pro + sp1 and it worked just fine.

-my xp cd is not oem

-my xp cd is legit

-i didn't choose scsi interface on vpc or on vmware

-i'm trying my disc on VMWare Work Station and on Virtual PC, not on real computer.

-my VMWare version is 4.5.2 build 8848 and my VPC version is 2004 build 582

-about the bios - where can i enable / disable the virus thingy??

-i got AVG antivirus, i'm assume it can be installed / used under dos mod, is it?

if it is, i'll try it.

-i can sure download it, i got 750K adsl .. i'll try downloading my pack from somewhere else,

i'm now trying to download the xp + sp2 that i found, maybe it 'll work.

i hopw i answered all your questions without missing anything.

thanks 4 the help.

Up

[XtremeMaC]

ok now since u're trying on virtual machines it cannot be a virus problem

okay now after these I'm totally convinced that its just going to work fine with your real computer

[Adiel]

ok , maybe my dad can get me 4GB HD from his work place so i can't test burned cd on him thank u

BTW there's no other way of testing the cd ??

[Adiel]

i'm very happy 2 report that problem solved

well the problem was the SP2 exe file. it was currupt! even tough i was able

to slipstream it with no problems, it was. iv downloaded SP2 from another

location and now i'm not getting BSOD anymore

thanks 4 all those who helped & tried 2 help

[XtremeMaC]

strange but if u solved your problem thats great.

i don't understand how the sp2.exe could be corrupt. it reports if u have a problem with the exe during the extraction.

well it might be setup in a different way such that the extraction might be stopping when it finds a corrupt file. but it should report that. anyways..

its good to be not getting bsod's

[Adiel]

yeah i think ist really strange too but well strange or not, now its working,

finally i can check my programs and come up with other problems suck as "unable 2 silently install _____" i bet u'll see it some time in application switches forum don't worry

rofl

maybe my dad can get me 4GB HD from his work place

[Adiel]

yeah like som1 said in other thread 2 me

newbie life is an hard life

i couldn't say it better :||

[mazin]

Have a good time Adiel. I'm joking to yeeeeeee!

[Adiel]
