BSOD While Installing XP

[jedihobbit]

Thanks dctokyo, sadly, for me, looks like you right. Have XP Pro SP1a coming but you say it has to be 2 or 3 correct? Need to pickup some media and see if this software challenged senior can figure it out!

Have another system thats needs attention anyway.........

Hi again jedihobbit

Please read this link, it is not so hard to slipstream a CD. It is for SP2 but to use SP3 is the same. You can always just do SP2 and then once the OS is installed then just update to SP3 later.

Thanks dctokyo!

Well the mem and GPU are out of the equation. Both primary sets that would be used in this build each ran several times through memtest without errors and tried the onboard vid with same results.

It is Official.......Win7 Ultimate 64bit loads without issue. So guess that means I will definately have to slipstream my old copies of XP if I ever expect to use them again!

However now I need to learn "the new way" sooner than I wanted.
