SpikedCola Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I made a custom sp2 disk with v1.31 of RyanVM as v2 was giving me problems. After restarting, (I changed it to the old setup look) it goes to Installing Devices, where it says the screen may flicker etc. Anyways, when the screen would normally flicker, it just goes black. I left it over night and it stayed black. If I restart, repartition from the cd, and redo the install, same thing. Whats going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Can you tell if the installation continues on? Is there hard drive or CD/DVD drive activity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Videocard problems maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocht4R Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Maybe your computer can't handle windows xp. What are your system specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL. Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've experienced a similar problem.In my case it was because the screen (TFT) on my laptop couldn't handle refresh rates higher than 60 Hz, do you use a flat screen?My guess is that it is driver related (if you added any drivers to the cd) or has something to do with RyanVM:s pack. Try remaking the cd without his pack or other add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy8 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 How long have you run the machine with XP? Is this your initial upgrade from 9x OS? Have you kept original hardware during the transition? Perhaps you should adding drivers (processor or hal), or checking their sequence of installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikedCola Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) build 0?wow...I didn't think that people could get ahold of a 0 build.. but then again my 2k cd is build 1 Well its a Corp. Edition, maybe thats why? Whenever I load it in nLite it shows up as Windows XP Professional (Build 0). Go figureHow long have you run the machine with XP? Is this your initial upgrade from 9x OS? Have you kept original hardware during the transition? Perhaps you should adding drivers (processor or hal), or checking their sequence of installation.Machine has never had XP on it. Or anything for that matter. I just pulled some parts off a shelf and put it together. I actually had to do a BIOS update because it was too old to boot from cd, and the Floppy controller has gone to hell (Used a flash burner and pulled the chip to do it) I added the video card drivers to it, and lo and behold, it worked. Thanks to everyone who helped Now, back to installing six sound cards into it Edited January 13, 2006 by SpikedCola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy8 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Alright, now that we got to the happy ending, I guess it's time for me to take the bait...Why so many sound cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
