| 406973 | 2005-11-24 02:15:00 | Pull everything out of the case, except the ram, videocard, hdd. Then see if it'll install. Does a BSOD come up? If so, whats it say? |

| 406975 | 2005-11-24 02:31:00 | You can try unplugging everything. It may or may not work. What was the infection? If u think it got hit by something? I take it, you're doing a clean install? |

| 406977 | 2005-11-24 02:49:00 | test your ram with memtest86, most often xp install issues are caused by faulty ram | beama (111) | ||
| 406978 | 2005-11-24 02:55:00 | how long is memtest86 most likly gogin to take | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 406979 | 2005-11-24 02:56:00 | It sounds like a worm or trojan, killed net access. If u do manage to reinstall windows on another hdd, and once u reconnect the old hdd as a slave, scan the old hdd FIRST for viruses etc. Otherwise, you may well re-infect the hdd u just installed Windows onto. If you copy files from the old hdd to the new. You could leave the LAN card, and modem in . See what happens. If it wont install XP, remove these as well. |
