Hi all, here's my problem...

Im reformatting my hard drive back to day 1 with the windows XP disc I have from when I bought the laptop.

When it has 39 minutes left I get the error message "cyclic redundency error" and something about a windows component missing. It re-starts the laptop and goes back to this bit and then restarts..... and so on and so forth!

I have done a chkdsk r and a chkdsk f - all is well!
I've tried using a different XP disc - same problem!
I've accessed the BIOS and made sure it boots from disc - done!

Can anyone shed some like on the problem... I have tralled the net looking for the answer with no luck!

Cheers in advance!
