I made  a new computer  - first problem (no video no beep) solved by changing the power SUPPLY.  I brought it home and proceeded to load Windows XP Pro  using the 6 start-up disks required before the Windows CD can be installed.

The problem is - every time it gets to start-up disk 6 windows a blue screen says it has encountered a problem and needs  to close.   So I can't load Windows

When I substitute the Windows 98 CD for the start up disks as a work-around it says "no bootable device".

I also tried my start-up disks for XP Home and got the same response - freeze on disk #6.  XP Home has service pack 2 so that should be bootable   but it is not. 

I have an Intel motherboard.  Any suggestions about how I can get Windows LOADED?

SandyHave you changed the boot sequence to look at the CD/DVD drive before the floppy or hard drive? you should be able to boot from the drive to install XP form the CD.im just confused on the multiple cds... i dont remember 2000 having more than one cd but thats meThis a classic example of trying to install XP with an "ahem" version... lolIt is? My copied versions of Windows run just FINE.. RAPTOR how could you do such a thing!! LOL
