I'm installing XP from a real disk and I deleted my current partition, then formatted it using NTFS, It goes through and copies the files it needs then says it will restart in 10 seconds, and continue installation. It restarts, then I just get a black screen, nothing..... I waited for about 10 minutes still nothing, deleted the partition and tried again, same thing... Any ideas??? Thanks
what is your version xp and what kind of mother board do you have??
Not sure on the model number and all that, but it's a:
P3
800mhz
Hewlett Packard
The hardware is factory default, bought from circuit city in 2000
Trying to install:
Windows® XP Professional SP1
I was able to install it on a shitty old laptop, Dell Inspiron 333mhz P2. ?????
Thanks a lot.
Every time it reboots, take the CD out untill it loads the the current progress, then put the CD back in. dont let the PC reboot with the CD in the Rom
is this a laptop or desktop??
I"m curious to see if that's the problem.Quote:

I almost suggested that, but I wasn't too sure.
It's a desktop,
It's actually my sisters computer, so i'm gonna have to wait till tommorow to give it another shot.
I tried re-booting without the cd in, and I came to a different black screen (I think it's a windows 98 thing) where it shows the boot progress in white squares along the bottom of the screen.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm gonna try it again. Anything else you could think of that could help out?
Change boot order?
Thanks guys!
one more question, is this the first time you are trying to install xp pro on this labtop or did it have it before???Quote:

The cpu i'm installing on is a desktop with windows 98
not sure but computers do stop responding during Setup because of failed or failing hardware, and incorrect or outdated BIOS (basic input/output system) settings. Checking your hardware settings and drivers and updating your BIOS usually solves these problems, don't hold me to it this might not be it, i'm just saying these are the typical cases, you should also check your hardware and make sure its compatible good luckQuote:
