1. Sometimes the installation of the OS crashes. It may be a hardware conflict. It may be an actual hardware or BIOS setting problem.
There are various resources from Microsoft to recover from a failed installation.
Keep in mind, if the PC justmeets the minimum requirements, you are more apt to have problems.
2. There is no "best" way to install the OS. There are too many variations in usage and reqirements to have an exclusive guide.
I like to copy the Installation files from the CD onto the harddrive. I also copy and extract device driver updates onto the drive.
General guidelines:
partition and format the drive
install the OS
install the motherboard drivers
install directx
install the video driver
install the plug incards one at a time
install the web browser and anti-virus software
update windows and anti-virus software
defrag the drive
install application software
3. If the OS is not functioning properly, your first question should be why?
If you determine that the OS has corrupted files, you should consider formating the drive and starting over.
If it was from a virus infection, you want to thoroughly wipe the drive. Use fdisk/mbr to restructure the drive partitions.
Sometimes, just re-installing the OS over itself will correct the problem.
