SOLVED New Disc

Hi,

I have an OEM legal XPHOME disc, worked great. A year later though it seems corrupted...why...well during install onto a new SATA HD , I get a repeated dll failure and blue screen.

What are my chances of getting a replacement XP disc? What address would I send it too i.e. does Msoft have a replacement disc option for cases like this?

Ive tried all hardware checks and the SATA HD is brand new....still the dll failiure presents....so it must be a faulty disc...dont see any visible scratches....

Do advise?

You might need to f6 the sata drivers during the install.

Make sure the SATA Mode is in "IDE Mode" or "Legacy" as well. Some boards use AHCI Mode by default nowadays, and I know from experience that will cause BSOD if the RAID/AHCI drivers aren't loaded first with the F6 as shadowdr mentioned.

I just got a new XP install onto a new SSD, works a treat.

Many thanks to all,

Berne
