Have some experience with very smooth installs in Wme, W2000, and Linux.
Latest attempt at Wxp install goes fine all the way from partitioning 3
partitions (1 NTFS 9 gb for Wxp, (1) 4 gb FAT32 for files, and 1 unformmatted
for Linux)through the Wxp setup to the auto reboot just at Wxp opening screen
just before desktop loads. No error message, just "please wait". Mouse and
keyboard hang. Must reboot w/power switch. Upon reboot, monitor goes
black(tried diff monitor - same), complete system hangs. The CD is a BRAND
NEW XP pro disk (WINDOWS Client business). No scratches. This is the third
CDrom drive, the third MB/CPU combo, the second HD, the third RAM stick (all
diff brands, and checked with WINDIAG-OK). In previous attempts I have had
nothing but hangs, cannot copy errors, file missing errors. this is the
furthest I've gotten. Have also literally spent 20-30hrs with KB,
tutorials,FAQ's. This can't be this hard. Hope someone can help as I am ready
to move back to W2000 or Linux.
Thanks
