After recent events with Modshack and the cable companies in the news just latly we have started to check all our satellite and cable forums to make sure that we fully comply with the law in every way that we can. We do not condone people stealing or defrauding satellite and cable companies and if we find out that this is happening on here we will close them forums down for good. These forums were started up for educational purposes only and always will be just that. We have never asked for any donation's or payments from any member on this site and we never will, it as always been a free forum and will always stay that way.

And as we say in our RULES anyone found to be using our forums for illegal services and making money out of this site or the satellite and cable companies will be removed and details passed on to the above companies....Please help us to help you, so that we can keep cable alive and kicking.

This member is the original thread starter. Problems installing XP
Hi,

got a call from a friend today, saying that he tried to re-install XP on his computer yesterday. But during the install he got a blue screen, after it got to 99%, and the computer restarted itself.

However, when the computer booted up with the XP disk in it came up with an error saying "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.."

Now I wasn't there when he tried to install XP but he said that the install prompted him to change NTFS or something or other, he's not too sure!

If the computer is booted without the XP installation disk, he says all's he gets is a black screen with white dots on the right hand side of the screen.

Have read that it could just be a problem with the BOOT.INI file and that it just needs altering, but dunno how i can access it to edit it.

It wont boot into safe mode either?!

Anyone got any ideas where to start!!??

Thanks in advance
