Greetings,
I posted the other day about this but now I have tried pretty much
everything so I'm totally stuck.
Scenario: New motherboard, Soltek SL75-MRN-L, Socket A. New 256MB memory
module. Carry over disks from old system. No PCI or AGP cards installed,
empty MB except for the memory and the disks/CD drive connected. BIOS
correctly configured for the CPU, reports memory OK.
Tried repair install of both Windows XP Pro and Home, as well as new
install on newly formatted DIFFERENT disk. All failed with the same
error, see error description at end of post.
I suspected the CPU might be damaged, so today I replaced the CPU and
tried the installations again. Still the same problem. I'm now down to
the new motherboard as the only remaining component that could be faulty
unless the memory is faulty despite the OK memory test.
Below are the error messages I get from Windows Installer; the install
crashes in the first graphical phase just after the splash screen with
the blue progress bar. I.e. the boot from CD and file copy phases go
just fine.
Note that I've tried using the CD on another system with no problems.
I'm installing from an MSDN CD which has both Home and Pro on it.
The error messages, and the referenced file names, are identical every
time I retry the procedure.
Any ideas?
