hi folks,it started when i tried to turn my back up h/d into my operating h/d,started up with only one h/d connected up,was getting so far then i was getting "fatal error" msg,said that the parameters were incorrect,i have been at this for last four hours and its doing my head in grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,tried to boot up with both hd`s connected up to see if i would get anywhere,and now i am getting which os do i want to boot up from,,but that bit is ok,,i just need the parameters sorted out,cheers
Totty, not to get too picky here, but could you please not post in such a long run on sentence? I had to read it three times to figure out what you were talking about. 1. How did you turn your backup into the boot drive? 2. Have you Googled "incorrect parameters" yet? 3. How far into booting do you get this error?
no probs morph,,my back up h/d is 80 gig,my operating drive is 160 gig,so i copied all my stuff from back up 80 to 160,then i disconnected the 160 and tried to formatt the 80 i have googled it but i aint got a clue what i am looking for as i aint seen much concerning h/d parameters it loads files,formatts,reboots the as the 39 minutes comes up i get the error msg..fatal error,said something about something failed to install D:\1386\asms.error message : The parameter is incorrect..i have googled all day but no further forward i have just got pc running with both h/d`s,160 operating and 80 back up,shows up in my computer,but still cant install windows to it
Ah....ok. XP install problems. Usually those stem from scratches, fingerprints...or a faulty CD/DVD drive. Rarely is the cause due to a motherboard malfunction. Make sure the XP CD is as clean as it can be....repair any scratches on it. Use compressed air to clean out the CD/DVD drive.
i found error report in the windows folder that it started GUI mode Setup has started.
