Presario 2100 Notebook. Windows XP
Notebook crashed and blue error screens appeared on my notebook.
I formatted the drive useing the XP disk however after it stated "copying files" it would not setup.
I entered BIOS and a test of the hardrive returned 'Failed"
I replaced the hard drive (80G Seagate).BIOS sees the harddrive as the correct size and the harddrive test returned "Passed"
I tried to install windows and at first it didnot see the drive.
I went to CSKDSK and bootfix after the check returned "boot files corrupted"
The windows CD formats and copys the files.
At 5% of setup the screen reports unable to copy file and blue error screen appears.Different files at different times.
Can BIOS be the problem?
Thanks forthe help.
