Ok I'v searched and searched and gone though ALL of my options on my computer and can not come up with anything. It is very very annoying im going out of my mind!!!


Well first off this is what im getting no matter what. And by know matter what i mean. When i try to reinstall windows. I will even reformate but its not letting me do that




Here are some pics of the only screens i see

1st screen (i show this because i only know of 2 comands you can press F8 and Del)



The only other screen it gives me besides the blue screen




My computer stats=

Motherboard = ASUS A8N-SLI
GPU = 2 4800
Ram = 2GB
CPU = Athlon FX2
Power supply is a 500 watt


Please help! I'm going mad =[
Thanks -Tim

When you say Reinstall Windows:

Are you booting the XP CD? A Microsoft XP CD? (Not OEM)?

Do you get the prompt to Press Any Key to Boot from the CD?

If not is your CD drive set in the BIOS Boot Menu to boot prior to the hard drive?

Booting from the CD should not evoke any errors or indications that Windows even exists.

Yes i am booting from windows XP CS and yes it does say press any key to boot from CD. I'm going to check on the BIOs boot meny prior to HD right now. But this is what i get when i want to install windows

Im sorry its a little blurry



Right after i press 1 and enter i get that blue screen of death again

That is the Recovery Console. You do not want this.

You want to boot the CD and follow the prompts to Install XP. (not repair).

I know thats what im saying no matter what it gives me blue screen.

When im at this screen and i hit enter it goes stright to the same damn blue screen



Thanks for helping me i really appreciate it

Was XP previously installed? If so can you boot into it?

Do you have multiple hard drives?

If so I would remove all drives except the one you want to install to.

Are you sure the CD is not damaged? Have you ever used it before?

Also if you have a floppy drive you could try using the 6 floppy setup to prepare for the CD:
