Hi everyone,
Sorry that my first post is a plea for help, but I'm at my wit's end with this. I've just bought an Asus Terminator 533 barebones system and I'm trying to re-install Windows to make sure there are no conflicts with my previous drivers etc. I booted into real DOS using a floppy disk, cleared the drive (I tried formatting as well as just deleting) and then tried to install Windows XP Home with integrated SP1. It got to the stage where the computer is rebooted for the first time after all the setup files have been copied then it whinges about files which haven't been copied properly (a different set each time). It says there may be a problem with my Windows CD, but I don't see why there should be since I've used it to install Windows before.
One time it installed correctly (or so I thought), but then wouldn't boot to complete the installation - it just gave me some useless error message like "disk error" right after the POST.
I've checked both partitions of my hard drive for errors using the DOS part of Norton Disk Doctor - they both passed with a clean bill of health. I can get Windows running OK using my Ghost image which I made before swapping my motherboard and CPU etc, which is why I'm able to come here and post. The hard drive is the same one I had before and the partitions remain the same. I've not had any other problems in Windows with copying, deleting or moving files about so I can't understand what the problem could be.
Any ideas anyone?
