Hi,
I'm presently building a computer system for myself. I
want to install Windows XP Home Edition,I putting an AMD
XP 1.5GHZ, ASUS A7V266-E, 256mb DDR,seagate 40GB
compatible by HCL list from microsoft. No operating
systems ever been installed on that PC.
Setup starts copying files for up to 10% then stop and
says it cannot copy the file I press enter to try again
but the same screen comes back again, then I press ESC to
skip the file and then the next file does the same. I
tried another hard drive(the same, seagate),I tried
another CDROM drive>same thing, I disconnected my floppy
drive>same thing, I installed a PCI video card instead of
an AGP>same thing,I switch my DDR chip to the next
bank>same thing, I even tried to install Windows 2000 Pro
from a cd which is known to be working>same thing again(
with windows 2000 pro).
I was able to install windows 98SE and then I tried to update it to Windows XP home edition, still nothing. The only left to check is the mainboard or the CPU,could these last two items cause this problem.
I've never seen this before,have you? Any help would be
appreciated cause I've used all resources possible even
microsoft doesn't have any known issue about that, even
the web.
Thank You
