What do you mean by "INSTALL"?

Are you trying to reinstall your laptop to FACTORY settings?

Or do you mean you just cannot start your laptop in XP?

Anyone can help please?

I have problem in reinstalling winxp,also I tried laptop's recovery cds.
First one worked fine but when I want to put the second one,laptop shuts down.It happens about 10 minutes of reinstallation process.
during reinstallation my laptop shuts down and I can't reinstall winxp on it,what should I do?
what are the steps that I have to follow for reinstalling?because my current winxp has got virus problem and also I can not write any files on any cd.
so I decided to reinstall windows,but from my past experience know that my laptop shuts down during reinstallation and I can not reinstall windows.
splease tell me the solution.
thanks

It points to a hardware failure. RAM is suspect as could be the CD drive.

Have you tried with the AC cable and the battery removed?


You can test the RAM with MemTest

Try running MemTest.

No I haven't tried that.
other problem is I can't access the Recovery option by pressing ALT+F10 key during POST and windows boots.
I have downloaded a keyboard software from PassMark PC benchmark and test software and tested that and it passed the test.
wondering thing is that after installing Acer eManager I hadn't Recovery option on that,I think I missed some of windows system files because of virus affection.
so what can I do now?
thanks
