Answer» <html><body><p>Hey everyone,, i came across a problem i have never seen before,, hopefully you can help.<br/><br/>I am building a new system, P4 , 3.0  Asus MoBo. 512 ram,, ATI  new video card. Blaster sound card,, Seagate 160 gig hard drive, <br/><br/>I load <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/xp-747558" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about XP">XP</a> and get to the point where it formats the Hard drive and then restarts the computer,,,  ya know ,, the screen right before it loads the OS ?  It does a quick format then it say the system will reboot in 15 seconds,, or you can reboot now, press enter.<br/><br/>So i press enter and then the screen turns blue and i see the mouse . Then,, thats it,, nothing else,, it is hanging on something,, and i am not sure where to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/go-468886" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GO">GO</a>,,the boot sequence is set up so it boots to the cd rom drive which has XP then onto the Hard drive,,<br/><br/>Any ideas ?<br/><br/>RickFormat and try again?Use fdisk to del partiontion and then recreate it and format from dos not from windows xp? Quote</p><blockquote>Use fdisk to del partiontion and then recreate it and format from dos not from windows xp?</blockquote> <br/><br/>You can more easily use the Windows XP CD-ROM as a bootdisk to format, remove and creation partitions.I did remove and then create the partition. It will create the partition then do a quick format then it will reboot,, the blue screen comes up with the mouse arrow then just hangs there..You are using Bootmagic, yes? Where I study they have bootmagic installed and as soon as you move the mouse it crashes. What if you disconnect the mouse?No I am not using Bootmagic,,  I am using a full version of Windows XP Home and im booting off of that disc.Nevermind - That must have been another Rick. <br/><br/>Are you using a legal copy of Windows XP? <br/><br/>Did you completely format the HDD and then try to install Windows XP again?read more&gt;<a href="http://whitepapers.zdnet.co.uk/0,39025945,60083008p-39000645q,00.htm">http://whitepapers.zdnet.co.uk/0,39025945,60083008p-39000645q,00.htm</a>   and there is this &gt;<a href="http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxphome/installxpcdnewhdd/indexemu.htm">http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxphome/installxpcdnewhdd/indexemu.htm</a>I legally own three OEM versions of XP and i have installed them over and over again and never had this problem before,,<br/><br/>I looked at that emulation program and i really dont know how it helps unless its on the system im trying to use,, running a simulation on an already working system seems futile to me,, ive taken it to a computer guy and he is working on it,, if i get it fixed i will let you all know what it was,,that emulation website explained how to do a parallel install?to solve your problem...or maybe i should have posted this site instead&gt;<a href="http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm">http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm</a>Hey, i came across a problem similar, yet different. I have put a new hard drive in a hewlett packard thinking the other 1 was dead. When i partition and format it it goes okay. When it copies setup files it goes slow, and then when it installs windows it kind of hangs between 37 minutes and 32 minutes. It takes a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/long-537592" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LONG">LONG</a> time on 37 to get down to 36 minutes. Any ideas whats causing it to hang on installing? I'm installing WINXP prof. Also once the OS is on the computer it doesnt boot up quickly and everything is sluggish. Do i need a new battery, or just to clear the cmos? If so, how do i clear the cmos?How to replace the CMOS battery<br/><br/>Did you format the HDD before installing files on it?OK i figured it out,, heres the answer<br/><br/>the Asus Motherboard specs indicated that the video card i was using,, ( ATI Radeon 9600 XT  8X 256Mb DDR  video card ) was wrong in regard to the mobo. It is an 8 X agp card and the mobo <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/apparently-363673" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APPARENTLY">APPARENTLY</a> is set up for a 4 x agp card,, This is something i didnt know,, so now i know to always check my mobo for the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/correct-409949" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CORRECT">CORRECT</a> card,,<br/><br/>So now i have a brand new card to sell, if anyone is interested,, lemme know,, im going to put it on ebay for auction,,yes i formatted the hard drive. I just installed a 160gb hd on another computer HP, no problem. windoes xp automatically formats the hard drive and partitions too.</body></html>
