Problems when installing WinXP
This is a discussion about Problems when installing WinXP in the Windows Hardware category; I tried to install win XP onto a brand new computer with Asus A7V333 a Creative GeForce 4400 and a 12gb HDD on the RAID controller. I used the drivers disc as I did with my own computer with the same hardware.
I tried to install win XP onto a brand new computer with Asus A7V333 a Creative GeForce 4400 and a 12gb HDD on the RAID controller.
I used the drivers disc as I did with my own computer with the same hardware. But as soon as windows goes into the 2nd installation phase (graphical user interface) I get an error message telling me that modules cannot be installed. Windows tells me that this is a critical error and installation cannot continue.
I tired differnet WindowsXP CDs and also used the HDD on the regular controller. I used a differnt CDROM driver and also changed the HDD.
I pulled out all the card, changed the position of the RAM and updated the bios.... nothing works.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ???

Hmm, try removing any and all "non-essential" hardware (if you haven't done so already), leave only a video card, cdrom, harddrive, etc.

I already tried that.

Have you tried the memory in a different computer to see if it really is working? If you have more than one stick, try one at a time. Do you have a network card installed? This computer comes with USB 2.0 support, but does your copy of XP recognize it as such?

My own computer has almost the same hardware (Asus A7v333 + 1700+, same graphics card). And there has never been any problems installing WinXP.
I also tried Win98 with worked flawlessly.

i had the same problem with an older motherboard..it got so far then crashed in the same way..if the new bios dident fix it..try putting your hardrive in a mates computer..install it on his then see if windows will work..if it reconizes all your stuuf your away.
