WinXP pro installation problems
LockedMotherboard Asus P4S133,Cell 2gig. 40gig Maxtor. This computer was running win98se. Had problem where computer would just shut down and restart. (installed new PSU) owner wanted to upgrade, so I installed win2000pro, had a couple of little problems while installing saying could not copy file, so I just clicked ignore. finished install and computer worked okay. But owner then decided did not like win2000 and wanted XP pro. Tried to install xp but keeps saying cannot copy files and will not go any further. I have tried a different CD rom drive, a different hard drive, another WinXp Pro disc and a different stick of SD ram. Still the same. I can install Win98se no problems.
I have noticed at boot up a message saying Bios Data update incorrect CPUID. In bios cpu detection is set to auto.
Winxp installation message says Setupdd.sys, page fault in nonpaged area. then numer (can not remember how many zeros but like this 00000F29
I have tried formatting many times and fdisk MBR.
Just been on the windows site and think this has something to do with memory, either the SD ram or virtual memory. Any ideas thank you
