Hi.. I just been trying too do a clean instal of a freinds PC... (i am not experienced with Pre-built pc's at all)
Its a MEDION pentium 2ghz, 80gb HD, 256mb ram, Geforce Mx440, sblive 5.1...
now i dont understand at all whats going on here, i am used to building Pc's from scratch, and doing clean instals is no problem, but this machine is weird, seems there is some lock on it..
I Formatted the disk, Tryed booting XP from cd, it got too the select a drive, then reformatted (quick NTFS) then when it starts copying files over it crashes (BSOD)and gives the error -
Setupdd.sys
address f99d4off base at f999f000 datestamp 3b7d8507
I tried this with the disk that came with the machine (XP Home) and my copy of XP-pro Corporate, when i tried with my copy, it said that the .sif file didnt match, and couldnt continue too setup.. so couldnt even get too the Format screen with that cd
Thanks for any help, this things got me stumped
Hope someone out there knows whats up thx.... kReV
