windows xp installation problems

[gauravwadkar]

Dear Sir,

I have a P3 machine with Award Modular BIOS with Trend Chipaway Virus

Onguard v 1.65.

I cannot install any operating system : Windows XP , 2000 & Mandrake Linux v 9.1

Windows XP & Windows 2000 show message like :

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

Check to make sure any hardware or software is properly installed.

while installing ( at the beginning or in between )

*************

Mandrake Linux simply cannot startup from the boot disk.

********************

Now my Hard disk works fine on the other PCs , but when I boot through

the hard disk after the initial status bar screen, the computer

simply reboots. There is no end to the reboot cycle.

**********************************

Please Note:

There is no problem with the hard disk & Operating System CDs. In the

same Hard Disk I could install these Operating Systems on another PC

with P4 processor & Vesta Motherboard.

*********************************

The Hard Disk has been checked for viruses by AVG Antivirus and Norton

Antivirus 2004.

But no viruses have been detected.

*************************************

I have disabled Trend Chipaway Antivirus from the BIOS. But that

simply does not help.

************************************

What could be the problem?

Is it some anti-virus or boot virus?

how do I disable it ?

where all could I find help?

Gaurav.
