bad_pool_caller & page_fault_in_nonpaged_area

Those errors are usually caused by a bad driver, so it has nothing to do with your installation of the hard drive. Start with the video drivers and then move on you other installed hardware.

My Cable modem when connected via the USB cable would give be "XPblue screens of death" with Bad_pool_call" coming up as the reason.
the onboard ethernet gave me freezing pobs, I installed a seperate ethernet card and have never had a freeze or bad_pool_call since.

Hansam,

hansam, is the Bios on the HP 760 able to handle a 120GB drive? Is it recognized in the Bios correctly?

Sorry I haven't responded I think either EE emailing is messed up or my stupid mail server, I did not receive any of these posts.

When the HP was originally purchased over a year ago, the orginial hard drive was 120GB. Then something happended to the hard drive and the owner thought it was fried so got a new one. So I'm trying to install a brand new hard drive as the main hardrive. So at this point no drivers have been installed. The HD is blank.

Everything I read gives me information on if I'm upgrading or something else in which it points to bad drivers, but if the HD is blank no drivers can exist. The error comes around disk 2 of 7.

Use Fdisk and remove the partitions and leave the disk that way.

Now boot to the XP CD and begin the installation from there and use XP to create the partititons and format the drive.

Since I'm new to using FDISK and XP please forgive my below statement.

So after I use fdisk the C drive will not only have no partitions but no dos command?

I do have lots of experience in DOS and im very comfortable with it, I just never had to do this nor work with XP.

I'm a win98 guy, I love 98 personally but friends computer is getting XP by there choice.

Just boot to the Windows XP CD, the option to partition and format is available.

I had the above problem like above with a compaq, I discovered this was to do with "bad blocks" on the HDD.  The soltion I found was to use gdisk.  Gdisk is a dos utility that comes with Symantec Ghost.  

Unlike FDISK and format this util will wipe your harddrive and can reset any "bad blocks".  If you do not have Ghost, you may be luckly as most manafactures restore disks have this utility on there CD.  

Warning - it will propbably take a whole day to wipe a 120GB HDD

Taking dews advice I was able to get through the 7 CD system recovery, however the very last step creates a user partition. It pops an error saying "cannot create user partition, cannot continue with system recovery." That is the very last step in the system recovery.

I had the same problem with a self built machine - it helped to put a new RAM circuit in it - never saw the fault again...?? maybe that would help ?

like misterstp ı have an oem pc and a new ram solved the problem
