STOP: d0000017 Unknown Hard Error
Does anyone know what this is?
Yesterday, I tried to open some programs and i got some system errors, So i thought i had hit the wrong things in task manager to end the process of, So i rebooted as most people would do.
And then my problems began.
I got the above error when i rebooted, So i though, Ok my installation has gone corrupt, So in goes the XP disk and install starts, HD formats, Windows system files install and reboot happens so it can carry on the installation.
Computer starts up, Windows loading page starts and i think my problem is solved, Wrong again.
Next i think the hard drive must have crashed and burnt, So this morning i head to town and buy a new one (Maxton 250GB IDE (Lost sata cables so just got IDE again)) and come home, Slap it in and start the XP installation again and the same crap happens, So piece by piece i start stripping parts from the system and finally after getting to one of the CD drives and the 8in1 card reader it seems to load ok for once.
Right now, Im trying a new install....again but the windows install sits at "39 minutes remaining" on the post boot setup.
Anyone know what that error means? (Google doesnt really tell me anything)
Anyone know a solution to this not going past the "39 minutes" part in the installation?
Only good thing to come out of this is that i got a new bigger HD and my old 80 GB probably works so i will now have one drive just for OS and another for storage.
