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 |

first off you cannot run any extra hardware when installing xp, install xp with the most minimal perhiphals...no usb, no added ports, nothing, just go bare as you can then add on after.
