Hello... After attempting to install a pci usb 2.0 card I cannot boot into windows, even after removing the card. The computer freezes if I try to go into safe mode or the most recent configuration that worked. I would like to do the repair install, but my pc runs into a BSOD when attempting to boot from the cd (one about an ACPI incompatibility with my bios). Hitting F8 while loading from the cd has allowed me to get to the XP setup options, but "Repair Install" is not an option. I cannot get into recovery console to run tests either. When I try to do that, I got BSODs about "A driver corrupted pool memory used for holding pages destined for disk" (Stop: 0x000000DE (0x00000002, 0xE111C00C, 0x00000000, 0xD15598D4)) and "BAD_POOL_CALLER". Before going through the hassle of a complete reformat and reinstallation of XP, I was hoping to see if anyone had any ideas for what to do...Gonna try a few more things then just give up and reinstall soon.
Thanks
-- I have: Iwill KK266-R mobo, 1 GB pc133 Kingston ram... yes, I know it's old, but it works (worked) for me.
--Oh yeah, my install cd is SP 1, but my install has been upgraded from SP 1 to SP 2... don't know if that would cause any problems...
