the weirdest problem ever,seriaaas

[The Axe Dude]

What about trying to install from a bootable flash drive? I know it's a long shot, but its worth a try

My laptop refuses to install XP, it just turns off as soon as the installation is about to start. Vista installs fine but not XP

If all else fails, stuff the instruction manual. Install Linux.

well guys after a long and hard battle i finally fixed it and installed xp pro with service pack 3.
the problem was the way the hard drive was formatted.
some how i got it right by formatting 5 times.
it seems that this way with partition magic allowed me to install xp.
Well both is fixed now and thanks for the advice.

You give it to some person selling goods next to the road and then claim insurance. Other option is taking it to the manufacturer for repair

I think i should have listened to that other member when he said use the formating tool from linux.This would have cut my man hours to 5..lol.
Well i called the customer and he is super happy that his 2 laptops are updated and ready for internet and business.
Now to find my next challenge...anyone got one for me
