New HD installed. Now I am trying to reinstall windows XP with the original Phillips Reinstall CD - the blue windows screen keeps freezing. Tried to do the install may times, no joy. any ideas? :(
 
No ideas at all without more information!!!!

Have you added a hard drive or replaced your old one??
Is it an ata or sata hard drive??
 
Hello and Welcome to Techspot!! :)

I think this is not the proper forum for this. Maybe this should be in the "Windows OS" forum.

Help

Rik,

Had the same problem re installing windows previously. Decided with Iqon support that is was a problem with the HD. Bought a new HD Ultra ATA. Still the same problems. I boot from the original CD and it goes so far and then stops. Each time I try, it stops at different place. Help, Ger
 
When "support" say its the hard drive it actually means they haven't a clue!!!!

Is the cd scratched or damaged in any way????
 
Sometimes OEM versions of Windows wont install unless you have exactly the same hardware in the pc as you had when you purchased it.

Korrupt
 
If it makes no difference, do you have a different optical drive and data cable you can try????
