Hey
I have a Samsung Laptop (Spec Below)
PII 400MHz
256 Mb SDRAM
6Gb Hard Drive
and usual cd rom drive floppy etc
i have managed to install windows XP on this machine in the past but it crashed when it was shutting down every time
since then i have been using windows ME
i now want to try and install Windows 2000 Pro and it copied the setup files without a problem but after it restarts and goes to the blue screen it stops when it says SETUP IS STARTING WINDOWS 2000
Any ideas?
Nick

I have this issue from time to time and I just try to boot again from the CD. It starts fine after a few tries.
OP
ok think i have sorted the problem
I have mis-matched memory in the laptop which is preventing it from working properly
i have however managed to install windows XP on to it so alls well that ends well!!
Thanks for reply!
