Hey guys, I am completely baffled by this. I cannot install Windows XPPro onto this machine. Won't even boot off the XP cd at all, just locks up.
The specs: PentiumIV3.0G EE, 2gig ram, asus mobo, 200gig ide HD,
This is what I have tried:
1-I have reset the BIOS
2-I have replaced the DVDdrive
3-I have removed /changed the RAM
4-I have tested the XP cd on other machines, boots from cd with no issues on other machines.
5-I have successfully booted and installed my linux cd's on this machine.
6-I have booted and installed my Winserver2003 cd from work, booted fine no issues.
7-My XPhome cd doesn't work either, locks up during booting up of cd.
heck, My friends Mac 10.5.6 dvd boots, no problem.
8-My Win2000Pro cd boots/installs fine.
9- A vista Home premium dvd won't boot either.
I don't even see the "Press any key to............." it locks up before that.
What is weird is that all other OS boots and/or installs up correctly.
I am at a loss.
