Hey everybody! I'm new to the forums and I signed up specifically for this problem because it is driving me nuts!! I made a fresh build recently and I'm having trouble installing windows xp pro sp1. Initially when I tried to install xp it would go to somewhere about halfway through process and gave me a blue screen and error code. I never got the past that.. So I left it alone for awhile out of frustration and now ive replaced the only part that wasnt brand new when I started the fresh build(disc reader), hoping that was the problem. Well now I can't even get into the installation screen at all. All I get is the blinking underscore and then a black screen and another blinking underscore. I've searched the forums for the last 24 hrs with no luck so I'm kind of hoping someone can point me in the right direction in my particular case.
Mobo: MSI z77a-g45
8gb of ddr3 ram
550 watt power supply
Western digital sata 6 1 tb hard drive
I'd tried suggestions like switching the sata to IDE instead ACHI and changing the boot priorities. I'm using xp pro sp1 and I've used the disc before although it is a burned disc.
I'm not sure exactly what details to provide.. If someone could help me out I'd really appreciate it
