Hey, I am having a problem while installing windows. I have recently got a computer from my friend which had 2 hard drives 1(60gb) which already had a working operating system but the other was (10gb) and clean so I wanted to format the 60gb hard drive, I used a windows xp pro sp2 cd and it installed on the 10gb hard drive which went well and I tried to format the 60gb from windows and it did not complete so I just deleted as many files as I could from it. I then restarted and booted from the cd and until it reached setup is starting windows then it froze I kept restarting and it would do the same thing or come up with a blue screen saying page_fault_in_non_paged_area caused by ACPI.SYS or something like that, So I done a little bit of research and it said try disabling caches so I done that to both on them on my bios and it worked but was going unbelievably slow it got to the point were the screen comes up with it saying 39 minutes left and I left it on over night but still wasn't done so I restarted and enabled the caches again and it was freezing again I tried just enabling the first cache but still it froze do u have any ideas watt the problem might be ? Thanks .
