I have a new HP 311-1000NR netbook, which came with WinXP Home
in english installed. I have been trying to re-install WinXP in
spanish from
known working CD. The install fprmats the disk and proceeds through
two
install phases/reboots, apparently correctly. But when rebooting the
third time into what would notmally be the configuration phase, the
boot stalls at the WinXP slider screen, then does BSOD, reboots,
repeats indefinitely.
Attempt to boot into safe mode - same result - partial boot, BSOD,
reboot. In each case after BSOD the reboot starts so fast I can't get
any error codes off the BSOD.
This system uses nVidia nForce/ION, and I have slipstreamed
what I believe to be correct drivers into the install CD using
nLite, and it does recognize the nVidia SATA controller/disk
on which to install. Nevertheless, my guess would be I have
some kind of driver issue.
So my first question is how do I *diagnose* what's the problem?
For example, is there a log I could access to look at what's been
happening? Recommendations and/or pointers to diagnostic
methods much appreciated.
