Hi! after I tried to install PC-BSD then I found that it had wrongly
installed onto
my C:/Win.xp partition. I have tried to removed it by reinstalling Win.xp
into that partition.
After going through only a few Win.xp installation screen that is until the
"preparing for installing Windows and installing windows screen page".
My system simply hangs later I found out that the chasis fan has stopped
working
and the temperature had risen tremendously inside. So much so that I cannot
touched the Hdd for long. then I waited for it to cool down but when I tried
to install windows again.
The system will hang each time it nears that few Windows installation
screen.
Initially I thought it was because the Hdd was fried but when I replace a
new HDD
the same problem that is the system will hang after a few screen.
Upon the boot-up, both the old (fried hdd) and the brand new hdd was
detected correctly
but will hang each time I rebooted the system - what is wrong?
Could it be the hdd was really burnt and not responding?
or memmory ram was burnt? or the mobo?
My spec is Asrock mobo (V+S+L) with Celeron 2.00G with 256+128 (total
384mb)DDR ram
Old hdd is Western 80Gb ide hdd, new hdd is 160Gb ide hdd.
