Hi All,
I have a brand new laptop and it had Windows XP Home installed. However,
due to my special needs, I had to re-partition the windows drive and install
windows again. However, the windows XP Home CD does get stuck after
saying "Setup is now inspecting your computer's harware configuration"
(the screen goes blank and the computer does not respond to the keyboard).
I have tried XP Home CDs and recovery CDs from friends and other sources,
but they all get stuck at the same position.
I have tried changing some values in the BIOS that would be related. I tried
loading the default values in BIOS; no help!
I guess there is some hardware problem but windows was working properly
and in fact linux I installed afterwards is working properly.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks
