Error reading from disk after the installation of windows xp

Ideas:

  • I got a new hard drive installed by professionals. I went to install Windows XP on my computer. He passed through the first stage, but after copying the files, it wouldn't restart. That repeatedly brings me to a screen that says: a disk read error occurred press Ctrl alt delete to restart and then it looks like it will restart but hten goees return the same screen. How can it be a disk error if it is passed by the installer and I've never touched the disc later? Now, I can't do anything with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software - image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

(Note: since you just replaced your hard drive is probably not the cause.) However, you should always test because it is not uncommon that new hard drives to the failure of the box.)

6. other hardware components are faulty. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
