Re: Clocker or other expert
What kind of drive is it?
Have you run the manufacturer's diags on it?
Replace the PSU, too.
Re: Clocker or other expert
Its a 40gb maxtor,i'm running a diagnostic on it now.
I replaced the psu,would that stop the o/s from loading at more or less the same place everytime?
Re: Clocker or other expert
Can you provide system specs please?
Can you describe "starts going wrong at about 80%" in more detail? What really happens at about 80%?
Disconnect every component that isn't required for the installation and try installing it like that. (for example: sound cards, network cards, extra drives etc.)
Re: Clocker or other expert
New asrock k7vt4a pro m/board
2*512mb memsticks
geoforce 5200graphics card
athlon 2000xp processor
second hand 300w psu
What happens at 805 is it starts saying can not load xxxxxx.dll press enter to retry,so I have to sit there keep pressing enter,most times it eventually bsod or refuses to read any thing else at 99%
Re: Clocker or other expert
Could you run memetest and see what that says?

Re: Clocker or other expert
Try it with only 1 memstick and then the other.
Re: Clocker or other expert
ok I'll try.i'm running a diagnostic at the mo,took an hour so far and its only half way through.
Re: Clocker or other expert
which xxxxx.dll (s) can it not load?
Re: Clocker or other expert
I also suspect your CD or CD drive. Try yet another drive or different media.
Edit: or even the IDE cable.
