Hi, I'm new to this site and its my first post.
I'm having problems installing win xp home sp2 on an AMD computer. The computer was running xp when it was bought and now i can only install win98! Usually i manage to trouble shoot problems myself but this has got me stumped...
When installing xp, it copies the set up files, starts to install and then i get an error message. The messages vary depending where in the installation it stops but they generally say there is a corrupt file like .sif.
Ive tried having it connected to the net while installing and removing peripheral devices incase of conflicts etc but to no success.
I don't have the spec with me but it is about a 2ghz AMD with 512mb ram 80gb hd.
I've never owned and amd and so i don't know if i'm missing some install procedure... can anyone help me please!!
