Hi,

I have tried my Windows XP Media Center 2005 CD in my Duron 1300
machine, and I can get it to boot but straight after it says "Please
wait while setup determines your hardware" etc, I am greeted with a
black screen, then nothing happens!

I've tried:

waiting for ages - nothing happens (The CD even stops spinning),
Trying the CD in other computers (the problem doesn't happen on other
computers)
Trying another CD ROM drive to see if it is the CD drive, (the same
happens)

Can anyone advise on what might be the problem please? Does this
operating system only work on certain hardware maybe?

Thanks if you can help!
 
thanks for that Bob, but I can't see anything on that page connected
with hardware which does and doesn't work, am i missing it somewhere?
 
Towards the bottom, boils down to "contact the hardware vendor that
supplied this CD with their equipment".
