Re: Win XP hangs after Setup is checking your hardware configuration..



No special reason. Thought it might help in a dual boot system. But
thats not really where the problem lies...is there?

Okay, I'm getting very frustrated with this problem. My Dell laptop
crashed, and it said that the system file is corrupted and that I need
to insert the XP2 CD that came with the laptop. After booting with
that, it just hangs after "Setup is checking your hardware
configuration".
I then try booting with Knoppix, access my windows partition, backup my
files onto my Fedora Core 3 partition and format the Windows partition
to FAT32. I try booting the XP CD again, and it still gives me the same
problem. Upgrading my BIOS doesnt help either.

What I fail to understand is, why does my XP2 CD still hang like that
and how are the other linux CDs and my Dell drivers CDs booting?

I would really appreciate it, if someone manages to figure out this
problem!
Heeeeeeeeeelp!
