Hi,

I am attempting to install xp after fitting a new HDD following a "failure" of the old one. I have removed all of the add-on pci cards so the system is down to the bare bones required. I have been running this version of XP with no problems for 3 years so I know the fault is not with the version

When I reach the point during the install where the "install devices" starts, I get the stop code 0x000000BE. Tried a few options but I cannot seem to fix this problem. The HDD is the same size and make as the old one.

Any advice would be appreciated

Regards

Change the bulb to blue to find me

This is a shot-in-the-dark, but do you think it would be a good idea to reinstall "all of the add-on pci cards" that you removed and then try to install the XP OS onto your new HDD? Then see if you run into the same problem that you describe?

Anna,
Thanks for the reply but I am still getting the message on install with the cards back in. I have tried swapping the RAM module just in case it may have been that but with no luck.

Any other thoughts ??

Regards
Chris
