Hi everyone,

Just thought Id put a quick post in here as Im having a problem with my acer aspire one (1ghz RAM, 120GB HDD)I bought a month or so back. I purchased the Linux version with the intention of putting XP on it from my usb cd drive. So I recently decided having messed around with Linpus for a bit that it was time to switch to XP and plugged the Drive in and started the process of loading windows. The computer recognises the drive, and the CD and starts to move the setup files across, however, everytime it gets to the point at the blue screen with the prompt 'setup is starting windows' the computer hangs and eventually I get the BSOD. This happens everytime without fail and bearing in mind it is a completely standard, month old computer it has left me somewhat baffled...

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

James

I am wondering what format was on the hard drive to install Linux and if you re-formated it to ntfs before trying to install xp.

I may have misread your post.

This may be of help.
