Very Deprssing Xp Install Problem
Hi
I have a Sony U3 (the tiny little notebook they only released in Japan)
I have upgraded to a 40Gb fron a 20Gb HDD
256MB RAM
Crusoe 933Mhz Processor
Sony external USB (bootable) floppy drive
Sony external 4pin firewire (bootable) CDRW/DVD ROM drive
The problem(s) is this,
It wont install XP SP2 Pro
I get stop errors all over the place. It will boot from the CD but when it gives you the instal repair options (enter to instal, R to enter recovery etc) is when the errors start to occur.
The usual ones are
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA
These are the most common but do get a couple of others now and again. Also on a couple of the messages i've had it will say that its a ntfs.sys fault.
Sometimes it will let me foramt and or partition sometimes it wont, when it start copying setup files to the HD I can get a stop message at any point. Sometimes it gets upto 75-80% other times it just gets to 1-2% before the message appears.
I also have a set of recovery disks that are custom made in english by a company in the states as the original ones are in Japanese which I dont have. To run these you have to start in DOS to start the programme running (uses this command <cdrom drive>:/ghost/ghostpe.exe to start it going) i've tried this by downloading the DrDos floppy from bootdisk.com but it wont recognise my cd drive?! so cant even instal with them either.
I'm getting very depressed with this so can ANYONE HELP ME???
I'll be very grateful for any help
Thank you all
Trevor
