Cant Reload Windows!!!!!

[modman2000]

Ok, i am running 550mhz and 256mb of memory and a 32x CD-Rom. I formated my C drive to reinstall windows. Well, i did it and every thing was going smooth untill it starts to install windows ME onto my system. At 10% complete it freezes. Every time. Whats wrong? :mad:

Try repartitioning the drive and then formatting it. It could always be that the disk has scratches or your cdrom is on its way out but I doubt it. Also make sure all your BIOS settings are correct, also check that your cdrom has the appropriate jumper setting.

And cross your fingers that nothing expensive is damaged. ;)

Looks like a CDROM problem. Check that the CDROM is clean (no dust or scratches).

Try copying the data on the CD onto the hard drive (not onto the C: drive) and installing from there.

I had a similar problem with a CDROM, I would get an error message or Windows Setup would freeze early in the process.

Modman, have you used this CDROM before?

I had a problem like that and showed my FSB to 100 from 133nhz. After I got XP loaded I increased the speed back up to 133mhz.
