Cant Install Any Windows?

[Xanex]

yup sounds like a bugged hard drive if u ask me. OR the configuration is wrong,

check cables jumper settings and also the pins

might also be worth getting some new ide cables just for the test. from what you have said sound similar to mine when my ide cable burnt out. but 1st choice is bugged hdd

Says it can't find OR open this file you sure the Cd is good no bad marks etc Now if you have had it on before the cab files are still there in Windows can't recall where because I don't use that lump of s***,I have ME on and its been running for nearly two years now.

yeps... k i put that drive on the old pc....the celeron 300mhz puter...and im always done installing xp as we speak...

now i guess the problem is either the cpu, mobo, or ram.... i've heard theres a site you can get a ram checker without even having a drive in the computer....anyone got a link and info on how to check, etc?

thx
