I have a problem with my laptop. When I try to install windows xp, my laptop just shuts down just after copying of files from windows cd to harddrive completes and the screen of "do you want to install a new copy of windows or repair this old one" comes. I tried so many things like taking off one of the rams or checking the harddisk or controlling the heat. Hope you can show me around this problem.

Regards

Is this an OEM copy of XP? or a burnt copy?

Try setting the BIOS to default and try again...

This has worked for me in the past.

forgot to mention that I have already did that. took out the battery and bios was resetted. nothing changed. now i cant even access to windows even though i restored an early norton ghost back up by using hiren's boot cd. i get a blue screen error or it just keeps restarting.

i will try to connect my harddrive to another pc by using a 2.5 ide to usb connector cable to rescue my data. and fdisk it completely joining my partititons..
