XP installation problem Friday, October 7, 2005 at 1:33 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by James (4 messages posted) I have been trying to install XP on a fresh SATA harddrive because my old one was infected with a virus and I just couldn't get rid of it. I was trying to install XP on the new drive and it always stops right when it says 'windows setup' in the blue screen. The virus I had was "in the memory" and would it be possible that when I formatted the new drive, it was somehow affected? The guy at the computer store said that I probably had a bad stick of ram. (I have P4 2.4 with PC2700 2x512mb) I tried one at a time and it was still the same. I am not an expert, but I am not a complete newbie at this either. I have done this many many times. I just can't figure out why. Please help! I hope all this makes sense.
