I just brought a new hard drive (Seagate Baracuda 200GB SATA) and when
i try to install windows it beggins the process and then shutsdown by
itself.
It will remain on with the BIOS screen open for hours, its not until i
try to install windows that it shutsdown and sometimes (but not
everytime) i have to pull the power cord out and put it back in or it
wont restart
It goes through the formatting stage fine and then as it beggins to
install files required for setup it shutsdown every time. although it
does it at different stages, it might get further down the process
sometimes, but others it barely starts
I have done this once before when i formatted my old SATA Maxtor 200GB
and i had no problems reinstalling XP from scratch
any help would be massivley appreciated, i have even tried using a
different copy of xp my flatmate had. it git further down the process
but still just powers off.
