Hey guys. Well i got my new board in, and iam trying to install windows, but i can't, and i had this problem before, can't remember how i got round it.

Bascially i do all the usual, i have tryed, deleting partition, then installing new one, formated, then tryed, and every time i do, it won't swap the files.

Everything is stock. Iv tryed my VX at 2-2-2-5 with 2.8 and 3.0volts, also tryed stock timmings and volts, never works.

Iam thinking it's the CD? I should have another CD to try in a bit, hopefully it will be ok otherwise iam stupmed. It's not the HD either as it happens on another one.

Ive also swapped the memory sticks around, tryed each 1 on it's own, etc, no luck.

Maybe it's cause M$ use generic CD's and don't press them (they burn em on cheapo CD writers, on Windows boxes using XP's CD writer app) haha, what idiots. Anyway, seriously, scratched CD or failing HDD is all I can think of.
