Can't Continue Installing Windows XP

[dino_cuyag]

Hi! good day to you all, I'm dino from Philippines. I just wanna ask a hand from you all guys here. My problem is, when I installing Windows XP using a CD it can't continue to the GUI part during the installation. It back to the 'blue background' on the very first part of installation.
I've tried to boot up first my HDD, and it doesn't work. Instead of, it continues automatically to the GUI part.
Please give some advice....

Best Regards,
Dino R. Cuyag

Blue screen usually contains information about the error that is causing this problem.  If there is no writing at all I would question the condition of your cd disk or drive, if not the health of your hard drive

Could you post your computer specs, and the content of any error messages encountered

Are you trying to install XP? If so, are you booting from the CD?

Processor: Intel celeron 1.1 GHZ
Motherboard: VIA
Hard Disk: 20 GB, baracuda

no video adapter, just built - in w/ motherboard

And there's no error message at all.

You may be pushing that machine to the limit installing XP on it...
How much RAM do you have ?

Yes! Bare minimum is 64MB, but you need alot more than that for any kind of performance.

System requirements for Windows XP operating systems

Also is this a clean install, or an upgrade?

Have you been able to install XP on 64M of RAM ? ?
256 is painful...512 is i feel the bare minimum.

Nope! Never tried it! Just quoting Uncle Bill!

I did say:

Things like this just call for class action lawsuit IMHO.

i have just only 128 MB of RAM...
it still works when i first use the computer it installed windows xp and i'd formatted it because of polipos virus that destructed my .exe files including the WINDOWS files... so that;s it....

I really urge you to upgrade your RAM for better performance.

So you managed to install XP?

In 2001 when it was released, I ran XP absolutely fine on an AMD Duron 750 MHz and 256 MB of RAM. Of course it was a revelation when I doubled the RAM, but I wouldn't describe the experience as "painful". And the CPU was perfectly adequate for everyday tasks. DVD ripping took forever... I realise 2001 was probably before most of the people on here were born...

Boot to your XP CD and choose the Recovery Console...
Once there type in fixboot and hit Enter.
Remove the CD and re-boot...
