WINXP installation problems
I am trying to re-install the full version of Home edition WINXP on my
daughter's computer. I formatted the harddisk and the set up a C: and D: partition with Partition Magic Version 8.x. All drives are formatted for NTFS. The installation goes on for quite some time and it copies all the files. Then sometime in the next phase the Blue screen of death comes up and says it found a problem and to not damage computer it shuts down the installation process. It says there may be a virus (impossible since just formatted) or to run Chkdsk /f. But there ius no prompt where I can run that. When I restart computer it just comes up with this same screen. I have installed many Windoes XP systems for myself, other children and friends and never came across this. I frankly do not know how to continue from here. The computer is of fairly recent vinatge with AMD 2200 Ideas? |

WINXP installation problems
I wouldn't use Partition Magic to set up a hard disk before installing XP.
In fact, the XP CD enables you to partition your hard disk as part of a clean install. However, if you prefer to use Partition Magic, you may find this article helpful: "Windows XP doesn't install to an NTFS partition created by PQDisk" http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/primus/id3216.html Rocky "Ritter197" wrote in message ...
