Answer» I keep getting a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
Stop Code: 0x00000024 and "partmgr.sys"
everytime I try to re-install windows XP on
this "Gateway" Model 700XL
The HDD is a Western Digital 120GB
CPU = Intel P4
MOBO = E210882
RAM = 512MB PC800 rdram (rambus)
I have changed out all ribbon cables, I have
removed every PCI card (except VGA Video card)
I have run memtest86, microscope v12 & many Hard Drive tests and they all come up fine!
I've set the BIOS to "Default".
I have tried to re-install over 10 times so FAR!
The BSOD happens the same spot everytime during the
copying files part.
Can SOMEONE please tell me what I need to do to finish
this re-install??? I'm about to lose my mind!!
Thanks,
RobFor how long did you run the diagnostic tests?
You should boot with minimum hardware installed, see if the problem still occurs.
(1 RAM stick + CPU/Heatsink + motherboard + videocard)I ran the diagnostic tests for a very long time...many many passes.
As I stated in my plea for help...I am running the minimum hardware already.
Thanks!Reset the CMOS to its default settings, insert a known working good RAM stick, videocard and CPU and retry.
Still happens? I THINK you then pretty much narrowed it down and need to replace the mainboard.
To be certain: You are using an original, nearly neat copy of Windows XP?I'm waiting to hear if it is a real or bootleg XP CD as well... Fixed the problem!
I removed the Rambus MODULES and used an eraser on them and ran the re-install again
with NO PROBLEMS!!
Thanks for everyones help though!
Oh, by the way the XP I have is GENUINE!! Thanks for asking though!

What the heck is an eraser? :-?

Well, it wasn't just an idle question. A LARGE number of XP problems are from using downloaded copies. The rest are just the USUAL Microsoft things, if not hardware.

It's a small rubber thing on the end of a pencil, we call them rubbers here.

I don't think using a rubber is the best way to go, just putting it in and out a few times seems to do the job.Be sure and practice safe computing.
