well im gonna proubly get a new hard drive friday and install a different windows i have which is xp home edition sp2.. that should straighten everything out.. but if u guys have any clue how i can fix my other windows on the other hard drive tell me

Hey, You should have bought Windows Xp Professional x64 Edtioion

 

[daappleby]

that was very helpful spaz really!

Ok I am doubting its the harddrive. I am going to say there is an issue with the cd, see if you can borrow another cd from a friend and just use your cd key.

If you get the same error again then try a different cd rom.

Try a different cd-rom first. then a new cd. Then RAM.

 

[Velocity-Spaz]

Shawn is right. If you are going to buy a new cd I say get Windows Xp Professional x64 Edtioion.

It is great!

i have a 32bit processor what is a 64 bit windows gonna do spazz? and how do u afford a system like that wow!!! what do u score on benchmarks?? anyways well i guess i could try my cd-rw lol its in my system and not even hooked up... but is there a chance of it being my hard drive because i have been having some crazy problems with it.. like the whole reason i redid xp on my hard drive is because i kept on getting hard disk boot error on startup i would get about 1 out of about 25 boots
