ok - im working on a pc (dell) - im trying to reload windows xp home -

i boot from cd - go into setup - formatted (complete) - now when its "copying windows setup files" - it does like a chunk of them, then stalls for a while, cdrom spins down.... sits .... sits - then after a while it starts copying a few more etc etc

i tried a different hard drive - same outcome
i tried a different cdrom - same outcome
i tried a different install xp cd - same outcome

any ideas?!!?

ugh - no ideas? :)

I have had this problem acouple of times, but each time it was the cdrom.

hmmm.....I don't really see what else it could be, motherboard maybe as a weird possiblity.
 
mobo / processor is what im lead to believe so far - dunno how else to troubleshoot to come to a conclusion
 
Try to run a RAM TEST, do you know what test I'm talking about?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
