Im trying to do a new install on my dell laptop as i have intended to for ages. Finally got around to it today, only to come up with an error when "starting windows" from disk.

STOP: 0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0xF952F0BF, 0xF997B208, 0xF997AF08)

pci.sys - Address F952F0BF base at F9528000, Datestamp 3b7d855c

I was going to delete and reformat the hard drive on the partition management stage as i have done before, but is there a way to wipe the hdd for a complete fresh install. i.e. am i not doing a "fresh" install?

Simple answer? Thanks for reading.

Luke

Boot from the Windows XP CD and format the partition during the Windows installation.

It crashes after its doing its pre-checks and says...starting windows. (starting the installation program). I never even get to the partition bit.

thanks, Luke

Sounds like a HW problem. Try removing some RAM or running MEMTEST. Try another hard drive.
