OS Windows XP Pro with SP2 Motherboard ASRock K7S41GX. I am trying to install Windows XP Pro however at one stage im receiving error message:
STOP: 0x000000E3
Over the internet i have been searching what might have caused this error and the results that came up all point at Win 2000 saying i need to have SP1.
Not knowing what hardwear is causing the problem if anyone might know anything more please reply. I suspect its the mother board.
What is the rest of the message? There should be more than just STOP: 0x00000E3.
Is this a fresh install? If so, what does Win2K SP1 have to do with it?
Now, at point "Setup is starting Windows" cmputer keeps reboot.
That particular Stop error is often associated with the NTFS filesystem. I would advise letting WinXP Setup format the drive during the installation. If you had been doing that, run the hard drive makers' diagnostic utility and see if that reports anything.
