Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade win98(1st edition) to windows xp home edition,
everything is going well and it asks me to reboot. After that, it loads all
the driver but then the CD spins down and the system locks up. Even pressing
NUm Lock on the keyboard
does not change the light for Num Lock ON/OFF and i'm left with a black
screen with a white pointer. I tried to do a clean install after this problem
but it's just the same. So i searched on the site of microsoft and did all
the things they recommanded to do but nothing worked out. I even removed my
soundcard, replaced the memory,replaced the psu, removed 1cdrom and 1hd,
nothing worked.....
A year ago i've tried also to install win xp home edition and i've had the
same problem, so a friend of me said he knew somebody who could install it on
my pc, and he installed xp on my computer( I don't know how he fixed it,
don't know the person ). Recently my pc crashed ( hall32 problem or smth like
that ) and i had to reinstall everyting and i hoped to get the xp version
working ( it's not a copy or smth illegal ).
I hope somebody could help me cause i'm really desperate.
Thx, dimi
