I'm trying to install SBS 2003 on a new dual core shuttle pc. Whilst I want
to install SBS I get the same problem if I try to install XP, hence why I'm
cross posting to both groups.
When installing, it copies everything up, says "starting windows" and gets
as far as "Detecting Devices" perhaps a little over half way through
according to the progress bar and then hangs. Mouse locks up, and the
"lights" in the bottom right hand corner stop animating. All I can do is
reboot.
I've tried various things like disabling as many on-board devices as I can
in the bios. Interestingly if I boot to safe mode and disable networking
support and then let the install continue then it gets past detecting
devices but crashes (reboots) when I click on "Next" after the localisation
dialog.
Same problem if I try installing with XP Pro SP1. Interestingly Windows 2000
goes on without a hitch.
Any ideas how I can attempt to resolve what's going wrong.
Thanks.
