Cannot Install an OS on my Inspiron 6000, Please help!
Hello,
I recently had to get myself a new (recon) motherboard for my Laptop as my old one went faulty, as i already had windows XP installed on my HDD soon as the motherboard was fitted it all worked fine, anyway i wanted to install a fresh new copy of my OS and get rid of my old one as it was full of junk i didnt want, but after i deleted the partition and formatted a new one i then tried to install the new install of XP using the Dell Windows XP OS disk, but it kept crashing and bluescreen everytime i tried.
I then decided to try installing my new copy of Vista, and again it kept crashing or not installing correctly and sayin corrupt files etcetc.
I have now put in a New HDD (100GB WD Scorpio), New Memory 1GB, even a new DVD player, but still it wont let me install an OS, it just keeps either bluescreening or crashing out saying corrupt or missing files cannot complete the install.
I have tried the Vista Disc on my pc and it worked first time, but just the laptop wont have it!! i have even tried using Norton Ghost to ghost an image of the OS on to it, but that wont let me boot after that because the system is too different!
Has anyone any ideas why this is doing this? and why cant i install an OS?
My system Spec...
Bios = A09
100GB WD Scorpio HDD
1GB PC5300 667MHZ DDR2 Memory (even the 512MB that came with the system does the same)
Original DVD rom or My New DVD_RW
64MB DDR ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300
(Reconditioned) F6402 Motherboard
I hope someone can help me, i dont want this cool laptop to turn into a doorstop!
I look forward to any responce,
Steve.
