Unable to install XP SP1 or SP2 on IBM 6579
Here is my problem, I boot up with a XP CD and run the install. I delete the
existing partition. The CD seems to install all the the files and then asks for a restart. I restart the computer but get no screen the monitor LED blinks and the PC power is still on but no screen. I have taken off the KVM box I haev changed monitors. I have set the bios back to factory defaults. I have ensured it was the most recent one as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated Mark |

Sounds like this IBM is a desktop and not a notebook. Right? =
(sorry, not up on IBM models) Did this pc have XP on it before? Are you trying to apply service packs = to this pc? If so, you should only be installing Service Pack 2 (since = it includes all prior fixes, and supersedes SP1). Or is this a fresh install of XP? If so, what is the o.s. level on this = XP CD? If applying a service pack, please post that fact back here. If new install, see "Guide to upgrading (or new install) Win XP" at = Aumha.org by Gary Woodruff=20 http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpupgrad.htm And if it is new install, some hardware components may not be compatible = with XP requirements. Highly suggest you first choose and run "Check System Compatibility" and = let it check your hardware and programs. --=20 Maurice N MVP Windows - Shell / User ----- madsdad wrote: Here is my problem, I boot up with a XP CD and run the install.
