Re: umable to reinstall xp home edition

Well, excuuuuse me! If you can't write down the information and post it here then don't expect anyone here to help you! What you are doing is tantamount to calling your doctor by phone and telling him: "Help, it really hurts bad". Then when the doctor asks for more details you tell him that you can't tell him anymore than that! Take yourself to the doctor or in this case take your computer to a competent repair shop and pay to have them fix it!

All that we need is the stuff from the first section of the BSOD, the Bugcheck Information section:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/Windows2000Pro/reskit/part7/proch33.mspx?mfr=true

That still doesn't suit you? Do you have a Windows XP cd? Stick it in the computer and reboot with it and do a repair install. Better yet, do you have a Restoration CD? Boot with it and have it return your computer to factory conditions and lose all your files in the process. That will always fix things for those who are too lazy to post the contents of an error message! Those restoration cds are really handy in cases like this!

If those answers doesn't suit you then post to: alt.psychics.crystalball
