Setup Stop - Reformatted
Jul 31, 2005
I attempted to download XP HOme Edition to a fresh hard drive that was reformatted.
It appears to get to a certain point and this message appears:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0X0000000A (0XFFFFFFF0, 0X00000002, 0x00000001, 0x80879641)
then, it says something about newly installed Hardware or software, (which there is only the XP I am trying to setup that is new) and then it says to disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing, which I went ahead and did after reading this, but to no avail.

My computer was missing a system file after restarting one day. I inserted winxp disk to repair I would boot from it but the setup would wouldn't ever load anything. I reformatted with the Seagate disk and tried a different winxp disk to install same thing, it hangs at asking for third party adapter software. Any ideas?
Winxp, 160gig SATA seagate, 1gig of ram biostar mobo. It all worked fine until I lost that file now I cant even reload windows!

I recently have built a new PC using parts i ordered and parts from my old system which desperately needed to be replaced. After my new system was created it ran well for about a month. When i came to turn on my PC one day i was greeted by a blue screen telling me that my windows registry files became corrupt. I used Microsoft.com's fix using the setup disk and had my PC working again. About a week later i was surfing the net and soon every program i accessed started to become corrupt. Knowing i didn't wanna mess with any log Microsoft fix i simply formatted and reinstalled windows XP on my system.

I have a HP laptop that once ran on Vista. This summer before I left for college,I decided that it was finally time to downgrade to XP,seeing as I had backed up everything, and classes would be starting in a week.So I did the usual thing. Insert CD, restart computer,"A problem has been detected, and Windows has shut down...."Blue Screen of Death. The Stop Message: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254, 0x00000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)

I've setup Windows 2003 fax services on a W2K3 server and shared the device. I've tested faxing from Word on my PC and it works fine.However, when other users try to install the fax client, the setup hangs asking for the fx* setup files. I've tried different XPSP2 CDs, copying the files to a local directory, making sure that the users have local admin rights (and even domain admin rights) but to no avail. The files are already in the system32 directory so in theory the setup doesn't even need to copy them. Even if I delete them, it doesn't work.Our corporate SMS team reckons that there isn't any policy which could
cause the problem.

I'll try to make it short. I'm using WinXP ver2002 SP2 and I've justreformatted my drive D through run cmd (I'll just call it that cuz I don'tknow what it is.... )for various reasons(long story), and after t's reformatted, I opened drive D. Good, nice and clean. But something'sa bit different. There's a music symbol on the lower right hand corner of theexplorer window, just like "my music" has the symbol and "my pictures" has apicture symbol which shows it's a "picture type folder" or "music type folder".I know this can be changed in folder properties, and helps the folder to perform different functions from the options on the left. But this is a drive

I mistakenly launched XP Setup and want to know how to stop it from progressing further. I have another XP installed on another virtual disk. Rebooting from there allowed me delete the Setup files. Or so I thought ! The main XP installation however continues to try to launch Setup. Just about whatever I do, it ends in tears. My question is how do I stop XP on this disk from thinking it has to launch Setup? I dont want to reinstall XP, as that will involve a huge amount of work to recreate my environment.

Just re-installed WinXP Home on my PC. I tried to go to Windows Update, but when it scanned my machine to see what updates it needed, it said it could not continue. I went to Tools/Internet Options/Security, and set it to default, figuring that would make everything acceptable for Microsoft. I restarted the computer and tried to do it again with the same result. The error message is 0x8007000B.

i just reformatted my laptop and after reinstalling most everything, theres a few bugs that i don't know how to deal with.windows XP home edition, dell latitude d505, sorry, not sure what other information is relevant
1. when i start up my computer, it goes to this loading screen where everything is black except for a line of gray rectangles near the bottom which represents the status bar (looks like the screen when coming out of hibernate but no words). this loading part takes like 5 minutes to complete, and it hasn't ever done that before. i have no idea why its taking so long to start up.
2. you know the power icon that switches from the plug to the battery depending on whether you are on AC power or battery power? that icon doesn't switch to the battery when i unplug it, so i have no way to know how much of my battery is used up. when i go to 'adjust power properties', it only displays settings for AC power, not battery power. i thought this was some issue with dell quickset but i'm not sure how to fix it.
3. probably too obscure to get an answer on.. i use a wireless mouse that plugs into my USB port. its a Kensington Optical Wireless Pro Pocket Mouse. the first time i plugged it in after reformatting, the "found new hardware" thing popped up and started to install whatever it needed. but then it said that there was a cyclic redundnacy error (?) and that it couldn't finish installing and that the device might not work properly (which it doesn't).

I had the XP Security Center virus and, perhaps foolishly, reformatted - or more formally, "system reformat" for "returning the computer to factory conditions", as my friend who helped me with this process called it - my computer and reinstalled the operating system. But when I turned it on for the first time, there was, naturally, no internet connection. However, while I would normally proceed to set one up, there was, for some reason, no "View Available Wireless Networks" option when I right click on the little connection icon at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

I recently had to reformat my PC and now I need to reinstall my video card and sound card drivers. The only problem is, I don't have the driver CD anymore. when I try to find out what my video/sound cards are I draw a blank because they don't seem to be displayed anywhere (display properties/settings/advanced/adapter). All adapter type and adapter information are all I know my video card is ATI but that's all I know and as for the sound card - I haven't a clue what make that is. I've been on the ATI website but there are so many drivers I don't know which one to download/install.

I just reformatted a computer running XP. It came with the resource CD from the manufacturer, not the actual XP CD. My problem is drivers. Everything in the machine is very 'non-descript' and I am still needing drivers, but they were not included on the cd that I got from the seller. In the device manager, I have yellow questions marks beside the following:Ethernet controller
Multimedia Audio Controller SM Bus Controller Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
I tried to get the exact name/brand of the ethernet card, but it's a 'PulseJack' and I have never seen one of those before

So I just reformatted last night and installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Since installing it, I haven't been able to restart or shut down. The computer gets stuck on the background (no icons and taskbar). I don't even get to the blue screen that says it's saving settings and shutting down. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried deselecting everything from the startup in msconfig and it still gets stuck on the background in normal mode.

My PC has upon startup has reverted to state before a hard drive format that was done July 2007. I checked a restore point and only today's Oct 21 was there and the next previous month was not Sept 2008 but July 2007.
I tried booting in safe mode for the most recent configuration that worked but no change. All folders and files since july 2007 has disappeared.

I just recently re-formatted my Dell Dimension 3000 at work. I didn't have the original system disks and just installed a vanilla copy of XP Home. For some reason it will not read the ethernet port, making it difficult for me to install any new programs, or the obvious (get on the internet).

After formatting and installing W2k on a DEll 4100 PIII I'm getting the 'new device found' wizard and it says I have a PCI device not being found.. But all my devices are working (i.e. modem, sound card etc.) When I right click on properties in the device manager it says "PCI Bus 0, device 31, function 3" Anyone know how I can tell what device it's finding and can't locate a driver for?

I recently reformatted my computer and installed windows xp home and keep running into a problem when starting the computer. It tells me that two operating systems are installed and that I need to select which one I want to run. Both are windows xp home. If I choose the first one it runs fine if I choose the second one I get a message that says: Windows could not start because of a computer dis hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.

I have been referred to MSN as a source of help for this problem. Although I am an AOL subscriber, I access MSN Messenger, and the MSN Gaming Zone daily. My PC uses Windows XP, and for the past few days I have have been booted from both MSN areas, after a short time of usage. Then I am also booted from AOL. Upon sign on, a warning comes up saying that I have limited or no connectivity to my local area connection. I was told by AOL NOT to disable this, as it may also disable my connection to AOL.
