I have OEM xp-pro disk and i have recently changed hard drive and memory in my home built computer that was working. I wanted to do a clean install as there were many installs/un installs over time. When I insert the cd I get the choices and I choose clean install and it formats the drive and starts to do the windows install but it never completes and I end with a blue screen. I was wondering if this is something to do with the number of installs that can be done from the cd. I have had the cd for some time now and have successfully repaired or re installed the os over the past few years.
Any help would be great
It has nothing to do with how many times you've installed an OS on that machine. Failure to install an operating system usually is because of faulty hardware:
1. Bad OS install disk
2. Bad CD/DVD drive
3. Bad RAM
4. Bad hard drive

Whether hardware is new is irrelevant; in fact if hardware is going to fail it will usually do so quite quickly (sometimes even right out of the box) or go for years.
