I installed winXP on my PC, but a problem appeared after I finished the installation, & trying to enter the graphics mode, the OS telling me the following:
I put the HDD on other PC, its working properly. I put it back to its original PC and booted using setup disk win98se, made scandisk and it showed some errors in the directory structure, so we fixed it, rebooted the PC, the same previous problem appeared. I put another HDD with XP already installed, the same error message appeared.
Do anyone know what is the problem here?
HDD- WD 40GB
RAM- 128 SDRAM, 133 MHz, DIMM
CPU- 1.7 GHz
When you say you installed WinXP - Is this a clean install or an upgrade over the op of some previous OS?
If it's a clean install, I'd suggest reformatting the HD again and reinstalling from scratch. It sounds like XP may have detected the wrong drive and/or drive controller during the install process. It may do better a second time trying.
When you get to the splash screen when starting up, Windows is installing it's drivers for your hardware. Up until that point things are running on some generic drivers.
yes it was a clean installation.
