Hi friends !
Thanks for your replies. BUT My problem is still there. The Hard disk is not faulty. I have made a surface scan.
I format the machine and made two partitions. When I tried to install a fresh copy of Windows XP Profeesional SP2, it gave the same error. Then I installed Windows 2000 Professional and I succeeded.
When I tried to upgrade it from WIndows 2000 Professional to Windows XP Professional, the same error came again. (It is a blue screen error, please see my frist post)
The specifications of my DELL PC are as followings:
Manufacturer: DELL Computer Corporation
Model : DIM4400
System Type: x86 Based PC
Processor: x86 Family 15 Model 1 Stepping 2 GenuineIntel 1595 Megahertz
BIOS version: 01/08/02
My problem is that when I installed Windows 2000 Professional, it only took the driver for LAN.
The NIC is Macronix MX98715 Family Fast Ethernet Adapter (ACPI)
I am connected to internet and can download drivers. I usually download drivers for hp/compaq and Intel. But for DELL driver when I surfed www.dell.com, I didn't find drivers. Please tell me how can I find out which Graphics/Audio drivers I should download and from where I can download these drivers.
I don't have motherboard or any driver CD.
The answer is required urgently.
Thanks...
