xpmaniac4ever Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Man, did you check your boot order in BIOS ? Make sure you are able to boot from harddisk after CDROM. Edited April 23, 2006 by xpmaniac4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-I- Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 try low-level formating the disk ... most hdisk manufactors have a tools disk for such operations... Search @ Google = low level format <insert hddrive name here> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrician Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I had the same problem once. Win 2k would go through and format the drive, copy files to it, reboot and #!* the drive was bad! Even tried powerquest tool to reformat the drive, but same process.Tried another drive (a small klunker I had lying around) SAME problem.SO, I started over on original drive, with a diff motherboard. Format, copy files reboot <shut off and put drive on problem MOBO> boot, windows installed just fine.I chalked it up to something flakey with the AMD chipset.Was doing a re-install for a friend and was p***ed at my wasted time, so no more chance or attempts to test it further.BTW XP uses a slightly diff NTFS format than 2k.

DanceMan Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Windows installs can go pear shaped from various hardware issues. Since installs are often prompted by some kind of problem or failure, it's generally a good idea to run two simple tests before proceeding: the hard drive manufacturer's test utility and memtest86+ for the ram. Both of these will run from a self booting floppy, and thus require no working OS in the computer. If you lack a floppy, the Ultimate Boot CD contains all the hdd utiilities and memtest.
