I just ordered a gateway 200ARC laptop from an internet company w/o a operating system. Ive tryed several times to install windows XP pro, Windows XP home, and windows 2000 pro. When I try to install XP i get a blue error screen telling me that its dumping the physcical memory yadda yadda yadda. When i install 2000 pro it just errors and tells me i have to restart. Any sugestions, or is this a hardware problem that i should ship it back to the company. Thanks all!
-Seth edit: its a centrino 1.4ghz display model that aparently worked before it shipped, it was then formatted and sent to me. also i tried using different memory. no luck This post has been edited by Seth6Gen: Aug 18, 2005 - 9:13 PM |

i only have fdisk on floppy, and my burner isent working on this computer. At first i would get almost all the way through but now i cant even resume, and it wont let me delete and format the partition i allready created. This is such a pain. Also i cant even get far enough for the blue error screen to come up anymore. it just fails to start installing... AHHHHHH
