OK, puter gurus, got one that's killing me here, and hope you can help...
I just got a new rig.... here's a quick rundown
Athlon XP 2100
AD70-sc/sr motherboard, Rev A+
512 DDR ram
Soundblaster 5.1
NVida GeForce 2 MX, 64 meg
60 gig 7200 HD....FAT32 for now
and the other usual stuff...
My problem.... XP Pro will not install.... I keep getting a Bad_Pool_Caller error under optimzed bios settings....
and a c0000221 Unknown hard error under the safe settings
I have the latest bios available...and have reflashed
the system works fine in 98SE...~sigh~
Under either upgrade or New install...it will hang up at the first starting windows screen...and yes, I'm downloading the updates as I install
I've gone so far as to reformat, take all my hardware off, and still no luck....
any ideas would be appreciated
