Re: Windows XP reinstallation Fails



Come Back 1 of 3
I have worked OK for at least a year with 2x1GB RAM Strips.
After removing one strip I selected boot from CD, then Enter to pick up from
where the previous try at reinstallation failed. Could not proceed down that
route, so selected F10 and then Repair existing XP installation on the
selected partition. I ran chkdsk and it stalled after reaching 25%. I guessed
that corrupted autochk.exe was the problem, so I copied autochk.exe from
another computer running XP to D:\windows\system32 and to
D:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386. On restarting chkdsk it ran to completion,
finding one or more errors on the volume created on 05/21/03. Now I need to
find out what the error(s) is/are and repair it/them.

Where do I go from here please?

The line above the one I quoted is:

Could be bad hardware (memory, etc.)

If you had everything installed...

You receive a random "0x0000008E" error message on a blue screen in Windows
XP

You may receive an error message on a Windows-based computer: "STOP
0x00000050" or "STOP 0x0000008e"

Overall - I would go with the hardware issues. Remove everything from your
computer (external and insternal) other than the necessary (since you are
doing a fresh install.) You need a CD drive, video card, processor/memory
and the mainboard to host it all. Keyboard and mouse connected to input
things during the installation and the monitor to see it all. Have nothing
else plugged in if you can help it. No external USB devices of any type
(other than already listed.) If you have more than one stick of memory and
they are not required to be in pairs - remove one (if your system requires
memory in pairs - swap them.)

Try your install.

If it fails, swap the single stick with the other stick if you only had one
stick of RAM.

Come back - let us know.
