Installing Windows xp pro….it isn’t working

by alangs1 . Updated 17 years ago

Ok so I tried this afternoon to reformat and reinstall xp pro.I placed the CD in the drive and tried to boot from the CD and it would go through asking me if i wanted to install raid drivers then a message about ASR. Then it would go through all the files loading and flashing on the bottom of the screen then it would say Loading windoes and the blue screen error of 0x000007b(0xffff something something something). So I decided to use Gparted to wipe the drive incase there was some virus inhibiting it from setting up propperly. The HD is a Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive. I’m running 8GB of gskill ddr2 ram on a EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI FTW ATX Intel Motherboard with 2 Gtx 260 video cards. There is currently nothing on the drive and its formatted to NTST. I have reformatted atleast 20 different computers before anyone got any suggestions?
