Hilly Ho and greetings once again:D. Well sir I'm working on this desktop. At first I thought it was a OS problem because it would not boot into windows ... it would get as far as the opening screen then reboot ... then I thought it was a hard drive problem. :down:
Got a new hhd ... installed the OS no problems ... began the process of installing the anti virus ... go to reboot ... get a boot disk failure error and to insert the os cd. When I did the cd started loading the windows files and started installing the os over again ... so I when along it the hopes it would do a repair. Told it not to change anything. Instead it started from scratch again copying files.Nothing about repairing the files. When it was done ... it rebooted and started setup all over again. I stopped it. Shut it down ... checked the hhd to make sure it was properly connected, and let it setup again.:rolleyes:
This time I formatted the drive again and started fresh. About 95% into copying files I get a message that it could not copy a dll file and to check the cd and try again. I did and it finish copying the files. It closed out to reboot, and started the install process all over again when it booted back up. Tried it again with the same results.:eek: So I'm wondering if the mobo isn't going bad? What do you think?:confused:
