Sorry to be a pain folks, but I've got a family friend's computer here, and she wanted it reformatted.
Its going from a FAT32 system to a NTFS, from a chinese windows XP Pro OS to an English XP Pro.
No matter which way I try to install the OS, I get an error.
1) If I boot off the XP CD, I get a BSOD before I get to the partition screen
2) If I boot in windows, I get an error message (can't remember what), although it is further in the installation.
I have used Hiren's boot cd and have deleted the partitions manually, and I am now performing a HDD test. I will then format the HDD using Hirens CD.
What could cause a problem like this? I can no longer use the old OS as it's gone, and I can't install the new OS due to this error.
I have also resetted the CMOS to no avail
