Was wondering if anyone could help me.
I'm running a Rock Xtreme Laptop, 3.4GHz P4, 1024MB RAM, 80GB HDD.
Was running Windows XP Pro, however without reason on one boot It began to load XP, showed the Windows XP boot screen, however once that was finished, instead of displaying the welcome screen as usual, it showed a blank screen (no cursor).
I thought it to be a good idea to re-instal windows, I wasn't bothered about loosing files and folders (I have it all backed up). I tried installing XP Pro, It copied files successfuly after a quick NTFS format, however when it came to installation, I recieved a blue screen with the fatal system error C000021a. Apparently a KnownDLL file failed verification or something.
So I tried reformatting and installing Server 2003 Standard. Again same problem after files were successfully copied.
So... I tried Vista Ultimate, again to no avail. Setup copied files but failed to expand them (install).
Tried each Windows Installation also with full format (not quick), however they hung at 0%!
I presume it's a hard drive error, however need to fix it. Waranty expired Jan 07!
!
If ANYONE has ANY IDEAS, please let me know asap. For ease could you please email them straight to deankellham@gmail.com.
Would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help.
