Hi. I really hope somene may be able to help me. I have come so far with this project I can see light at the end of the tunnel . Just one more crease to iron out I think. Right.....

I made a bootable USB flash storage device using PEtoUSB.

I sed the following guide: Install Windows XP using USB Flash Disk/ Flash Drive - Step by Step Guide

I slipstreamed my IDE/SATA driver after getting BSOD when the windows setup looked for the hard disc.

After this I managed to get to the setup screen within the windows setup and delete a partition and cop over the installation files to the hard drive.

All seemed good and the PC restarted itself to contine the setup. Then I got this error:





So I tried again from the beginning.

Now every time I get to the point where the setup copies the installation files to the hard drive or If I try and do a format of the partition etc I get stop codes half way through the yellow progress bar:







Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Cheers.

Hello,

It seems like the most likely cause for all this is a bad hard drive. Try testing it with the DOS version of SeaTools.

You can also try creating an installer key without the slipstreamed drivers, see if that helps.

Right it turned out to be a corrupt iso of all things.

Now back up and running again!

Thanks!

Glad to hear it, thanks for reporting back!

We'll mark this as solved; if you need more help, feel free to open a new thread.
