    Angry XP Error on install

    I am installin XP Fresh.... I low level formated the HDD with IBM's utility. Started XP install, formatted with NTFS, going through the install after putting in name, cd key, time zone, etc....I get this message:

    "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer

    Disable or ininstall any anti-virus, disk defrag. or back-up utilities. Check your hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run Chkdsk /f to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your machine.

    hmmmmmmmm

    it sounds like your file system is messed up....but i might be wrong...

    why did you do a low level format?

    <me wonders> if you got some messed up sectors

    you're not going to be able to sabe this install...my suggestion is to do a format. not a low level but a normal, high level full format....

    A few thoughts

    Remove the 3com nic... seen 3com's mess up many an install, not just xp... which hp cdrw?

    Do you mean a low level format or do you mean a zero fill?

    Run the ibm diagnostics to make sure you have no bad sectors.

    Boot from the cd, let the setup run, go into repair console and type fixboot and then fixmbr

    HP CD12 Series....I did the format using the IBM Utility (DFT) "Erase Disk". I will reformat again , check for bad sectors and try without the NIC Card. Thanks

    I Smell Bad Memory

    One of the previous posts is probably right, this install is corrupt. IF IBM diagnostic finds nothing then test your RAM.
    Bad RAM corrupts files and file systems quite frequently.
