Reformatted and did an install of WIN Me – absolutely no problems at all.

Hi,

Since you could load it onto a 6 GB HDD, try Ghosting to your WD HDD.

Hope you did not format with the Datalifeguard ! Always caused major install problems for me (Win 95, Win 98, and Win ME). Try a Win ME boot disk and fdisk then format with fat 32. For other format options format/?.

Other option is leave the 6G in and use it for the system and the 40 G for data.

Had formatted previously with regular boot disk, no difference. I’ve not actually seen that many problems with Datalifeguard over the years.

Unless you have a slave drive on same IDE chain, do not set jumper on WD IDE hard disks to master. Either remove jumper (single drive) or leave at factory default (cable select). I recommend removing jumper for a single drive installation.

The master jumper is only used when a slave is present.

Incorrect jumper setting could be reason for failure to install.

It might not be the jumper, but this one is easy to check. Single WD drives with jumper set to master will definitely cause strange problems.

Had tried installing on same then different cables. No jumpers are being used. Outcome the same.

I agree with Wil…use the cd to write zeros to hdd,after you have the jumpers off then make sure bios is set to boot from cd rom …remove datalife cd with drawer open lay you xp disk in and hit ctr alt delete and let windows software format that drive and i think you’ll be fine.

? All dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), including User, Graphics Device Interface (GDI), Shell, Kernel, Ntdll, Crtdll, and others.
This problem may occur if you install an inappropriate driver for your hardware. For example, you receive one of the error messages that are described in the “Summary” section if you install a millions of instructions per second (MIPS) driver on an X86-based computer.

This problem may occur if an Iomega Zip drive is on the same integrated device electronics (IDE) cable as the hard disk drive.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain a new copy of the corrupted file or reinstall Windows XP. If you continue to receive any one of the error messages that are described in the “Summary” section after you reinstall Windows XP, a hardware problem or a network problem may exist.
MORE INFORMATION

Have you tried installing XP and then running Windows updates and updating everything except for service pack 2 and then installing sp2? Or installing XP and then either borrowing a CD with sp2 or downloading sp2 and installing it? Maybe sp2 on your CD has a flaw. I have found that before I could successfully install sp2 my best bet was to install all updates and then sp2.
