i hope someone can help me with this problem i am having because haven't been able to figure it out and i've never experienced this sort of problem.
ok, I just put together a new system with an xp2400+ and EPoX 8RDA31. im running DDR400 memory (2x256). everything was running fine until i tried to install windows and the installation just stopped after like 3 minutes. i then restarted the comp to retry, but the cd wouldn't read. a message came up saying "verifying pool data...". i havent been patient enough to find out what happens after that, but i dont think anything will. I noticed that the floppy disk light is illuminated for no apparent reason. I decided to try installing from floppy. Another problem came up... I see my wireless keyboard hub connection light turn off.. and realize that the USB ports arent functioning anymore along with the PS/2 port. Not sure if anything else stopped working. I thought maybe it had something to do with the hard drive, so i swapped it with one that had XP on it already. i was given a boot menu to select with installation of XP (i had two) to run. But keyboard didnt work. so i've basically come down to the conclusion that my keyboard stops functioning while trying to access my hard drive and floppy drive. I dont know if this has anything to do with the CD not running from the CDRW drive, but i think it might. I'm so confused, someone please help.
