I've been trying to install XP Pro (OEM) on a new computer. I used FDISK, the put in the XP disc. I let the disc run and format the hard drive, then the computer rebooted to go into the GUI section of the install part... however, a small bar pops up on screen and says "loading drivers" - but...

Hmmm... I didn't know that MS or NewEgg would replace it. Does it matter that I bought it in 2002? I've RMA'ed hardware to NewEgg before, but never after a couple of years, so I don't know if they'll fix it. Also, does it matter that it's an OEM key? I seem to remember that with OEM keys...

After getting my new box built and running, I've been having major headaches getting WinXP Pro loaded up and running. I tried to use the XP Pro disc I bought from NewEgg a few years back when I built my last box (it's an OEM version). However, I got a ton of errors... then I looked at the disc...

I just built a new system, and have been having major problems getting WinXP installed and working. Here are the system specs: Shuttle XPC SN25P Athlon 64 3500+ Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL Western Digital WD2500JD ATI Radeon X800XL NEC 16X Dual Layer DVD Burner (ND-3520A) I put the system...

Actually, I just ordered a system around this budget. My last computer had a faulty power supply that ended up burning up and killing quite a few parts of my last system, so I very recently ordered a new system... just the computer itself, like you. Here's the spec list: Shuttle XPC SN25P...

Well, this is my first post on these boards... although I'm familiar with many other tech boards, and I'm a regular reader of the [H]... Anyways, I'm working on building a new computer. My old one (Athlon XP 2500, Abit NF7-S, Radeon 9700 Pro) just was killed due to a faulty power supply, so...
