Maybe the CD drive you are booting from is bad, or the CD itself is bad. Also, first remove all those CD drives you don't need during the installation. Only have the one installed from which you are booting. Then start the installation. If it doesn't work, remove that drive and use another. If it doesn't work  with any of the drives, get another CD. Also test the PC's RAM using memtest86+ which you'll find on the UBCD along with many other fine tools.

  Did you insert your CD into CD Drive? If so try inserting it into CDWriter, if it doesnt help too try your Dvd writer.

    *Try your CDWriter.
     *On POST screen (Firs screen you see when you power up) make sure BIOS recognize your CD/DVD units (For example   Primary slave : Asus CD-ROM 52x  )
     *Open your computer's case and leave only 1 CD-ROM drive as the Master jumper set on channel. (For example, unplug Asus and samsung, then try installing

      *Try resetting BIOS settings to defaults
       *Try changing the IDE cable of CD-ROM drive that you are trying to boot from.
       *With the new cable, try Primary if doesn't work try Secondary IDE channels.
      * Have you got any other bootable CDs? Try a diferent bootable CD if you are having the sam results.

In you original Question you say you already install Windows XP several times. How did you do that if you didn't use a bootable CD, as that is the normal way to do it?

 

by: MrHusyPosted on 2007-03-12 at 06:45:57ID: 18701856

         * Have you got any other bootable CDs? Try a diferent bootable CD if you are having the same results.
           What happened when you tried the step above? Did your PC boot from another bootable CD?
