I got infected with one of the virus which tells you to buy their antivirus to repair your pc, so i tried to do a format.
But (as it has happened again in the past but always it had worked after some tries) ,When it goes on the blue screen of the boot which is before the actual install start. It is always stacking there, on the kernel or somewhere there and doesnt go to the next phase of the installation.

In the past when it had happened again after some tries it worked finally, but now it stacks always there.
Have you seen that ever happened? maybe the bios has a problem and needs reset or format? Maybe it is infected from the virus? But why then that has happened again in the past. The xp can they installed as the Mellenium windows with a floppy disk boot? My motherboard is an MSI, p4 2.8 1k ram. Thanks for reading.

If its just pausing on that blue screen before the real installation, try burning XP onto a CD at 1x burn speed. That fixed it for me on an older PC.

If I understand you correctly, no you cant boot the image from the DVD.

The burn speed matters for some older CD/DVD drives as they arent the greatest quality. I had to burn XP Pro at 1x speed for my other PC which is from about 2001. Hopefully thats the only problem!

Next time, post in CTH when it's a pure computer issue not related to poker software, people helping like me won't go through the whole software forum to find something to fix. Thank you.

Mod : move thread ?
