Win XP SP-II Installation Problem

[Choto Cheeta]

In ur Case, I suggested use Nlite only to Intergrate Windows XP SP2 in the Windows Installation DISK

so when u install Windows XP u install it at SP2 stage

but N-Lite can do lot more than this, Like, Intergrate any available Windows update, Drivers, and even Softwares

actually I am unable to install windows on my PC
my PC's freezes at time of installation when it shows 9-10 min remaining

 

[Choto Cheeta]

is it happens with all version of Windows ?? I mean Windows 98SE or 2k and 2k3 server ?? or just with Windows XP ??

Let me Tell you complete Details
Config is
Intel PIII 800Mhz, Onboard Video & Sound, 256MB SD RAM (128 x 2), 40GB HDD, 15" Monitor etc.
Was running WinXP_SP2 fine from last 1 year
but suddenly it started freezing & restarting in some time
the time period was decreasing day by day & at one day it started restarting in every 1-2 min, Some time it work fine but not everytime
So i tried to format MY PC
I removed all the Data, made partitioned & tried to install fresh copy of WinXP
but it freezes when 9min remaining of installation

So I tried removed 1 RAM module (but both ram are fine)
Now I changed its battery
It SMPS,
all are fine
Now i tried to install Win98 on its
Win98 installed but freezes in 1-2 min

I thought Harrdisk has some problem
So Now I bought 1 HDD of my friend of size 6.4GB which preinstalled Win98
I attached that & ran my PC
PC ran fine for more than 4-5 hrs
also I can play Road Rash game in that
So i tried to install WinXP on that 6.4 GB hdd but installtion again fails

Now only Processor & Motherboard is not tested rest all are fine
But if their is any problem in MOBO or Proc that how it can run Win98 fine on 6.4GB HDD

I am very much confused what to do now
Do you have any idea..............?

Bumping up the old thread on request on author,

I would suggest one thing, try Integrating the Windows XP SP2 in the Installation disk, then install a Fresh Copy of Windows !!!!

To do so, u may follow this guide, or this one or this one, just google as there are many available ...

I have installed n-lite as per your reccomendation and do all the things in the software. During the task my monitor goes several time black and come back automatically. But sorry I cannot install xp sp2 in my system.

@satyamy

I would say its a hardware error.... As u can see also.... But its hard for us to tell here from remotelly which is the faulty part, u have to try and see by ur self...

@skghosh44

I would ask u the same question, Does any other os run fine in ur System ??

My system runs fine with Win98se/Win Xp pro without Service Pack.
As per your advice yestarday I intregated the the WinXp with Win Xp SP2 and tried to install the same, but it also failed. subsequenty I have to fresh install again with the Win Xp without SP. From yestarday I have doing this job to reinstalling all the programmes. Now I think it is impossible to install SP2 in my system.

I think you should try to fresh install windows 2k (with sp 4 if available). Then insert windows xp sp2 and try to upgrade from windows 2k sp4.

Bumping up the old thread as the Problem solved.

Some of our forum member know about this thread. where they tried to solve my problem as well as I also contacted Motherboard Mfg. MSI to solve my problem, but the problem was not solved.

Yesterday I got solved the problem as under:
1. I updated the BIOS through MSI's live update.
2. I tried to install XP SP-2 on the existing HDD (Segate 80 GB 7200.10 RPM)
but it is hanged up during system chekup.
3. I removed that HDD and manage a pre installed Win XP SP-2 on Segate HDD 40 GB 5200 RPM and install this HDD in the system. This time it is sucessfull it run fine.
4. After successfull running I format the HDD in problem system and start reinstalling the OS Win Xp with SP3 and this time it istalled in the system. Now it is running fine but a bit slower than the 80 GB HDD (7200.10) RPM.

I think main problem for not installing XP-2 is HDD's RPM.
What is your opinion ? Is it Possible ?
