I am trying to install XP on a computer I recently built
and whenever I try to load XP Pro (booting from CD), the
computer restarts itself halfway through formating the
hard drive. I was able to install Win98 fine but when
trying to upgrade from there I would get an error message
with code 6eh3 I believe in the middle of installation
and would have to quit. Any suggestions on what I could
try next, or what could be wrong? Thanks.
