Hi,
Any help would be appreciated... This is the prob.
I have a AS Rock p4vt8 motherboard with a P4 3.0G processor. Basically it's a barebone pc now, having stripped everything out and put into another pc. So, I give it to my nephew and he buys EVERYTHING brand new... new HD, RAM, Vid Card, Monitor, ect...
The problem, which is WHY I quit using it before, and bought another is this:
Everything works up to the point of installing Win XP Pro onto the new HD. I formated with new NTFS, and then goto install Win XP and it stops... Gives a blue screen saying some weird errors. Or, it will actually work, start to copy win files to the HD (for the win xp installation), and it freezes up at EVERY file.. EVERYONE!.. Says 'Setup cannot copy this file'... I hit 'retry' over and over, and it will work, till eventually the blue screen again. Only gets as far as like 6-7% copied.
I've used the SAME HD from that PC, and it was doing same thing, and put onto my new PC... Even reformatted my new pc the other day with same Win XP Pro disk... so it ain't the disk. BUT it won't copy the files on THIS damn PC! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The HD is new, EVERYTHING is new.. So, I'm assuming it could be a bios setting? I reset bios and loaded defaults, still same prob. Or motherboard issue? It's only like 4 months old... well, I only used it for 4 months...
ANY help or lead in right direction would be great...
THANKS!
