When booting the computer all it showed was a black screen after displaying
the usual hardware info. Trying to reboot it stalled with the last line:
multi(0)disk(0)partition(1)\Windows\system\32\drivers\Mup.sys
When then trying to reboot from the installation cd, it stalled after a
number of "Setup is loading files..." and then Setup is starting Windows and
it stayed there.
I allready tried putting in a new hard-disk, but setup also stalls, it never
even asks me to format the disk.
All cables were unplugged exept : power, monitor, mouse and keyboard.
Can anybody give me a clue as to what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
