I am having issues with my new system. I bought all of these items brand new. My problems aren't with the boot up but on the Windows XP install process from the CD. Particularly when the install is attempting to copy this file DRIVER.cab. The install would stop and then return a BSOD.
This is what I have:
Mobo = MSI k7t Turbo2
CPU = Athlon XP 1500
RAM = Crucial PC133, 256 MB
Power Supply = Antec 300w
HD = Maxtor 20gig
DVD = Toshiba 16x
NIC = 3com 10/100 nic
ANTEC server Tower
I am not quite sure where the problem is. I have attempted just about everything I could think of to resolve this. I booted up and copied the i386 folder and installed from there. This still returned the same error. I changed both the hard drive and DVD drive to other ones from my other machines and still get the same error. I attempted installing W2K but this was a failure as well. Although it didn't return the same error, I won't complete the install either. I am most certain it's a hardware issue. I just don't know where to look. It could be the motherboard or some bios conflict but I need more insight. I have read any and all relating threads in this forum and tried it out. The only thing I could do now is just return the hardware and just forget the damn project; I spent the entire weekend trying to figure things out. I seriously need some advice. thanks in advance
