[Pro] unable to install windows xp on new computer
I just got a retail version of windows XP Pro and i'm unable to install it. first off for some reason the disk won't boot directly on computer start up. I have to run the install via dos. it begins to copy and verify files for setup but then it stops. the computer doesn't hang it just stops right around the pary where it's copyng/verifying the ntldr part.
here are my computer specs.
amd athlon 3300
ddr400 512mb
WD 250gb HD
ATI 9800xt
lanparty UT mobo
52x cd rom
any suggestions? i'm thinking I may need to reformat the harddrive as it seems the data lifeguard disk that came with the HD didn't format/partition it correctly.
