Hi. I'm trying to install Windows XP on my box. It's an AMD 64 3000+
with 1 GB memory and on board nvidia geforce graphics and nforce sound
and LAN.
I have an IDE hard drive that is partitioned into 3 regular partition
and one extended partition as per microsofts instructions:
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684871.aspx
The hardware works. I successfully boot into Linux and everything runs
just fine. I've also done a memory check. No problem there either.
I'm sure that the hd is supported by Windows because I had Windows
installed on it in partition #2 previously (before my mb died and I had
to buy a new one).
The problem is that I boot into the XP boot disk and it displays the
message
'"Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuartion"
Then it hangs.
Any ideas?
