Agreed - I've experienced it too many times. Even if it is the RAM you can sometimes get away with modifying BIOS settings - (disabling cache etc.). This will REALLY slow down the Install but once completed you are usually able to tweak the BIOS for more speed. What motherboard is it - and what chipset is on it? ----- Original Message ----- From: David James To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 11:15 PM Subject: RE: W2K Pro Install I've seen that before.  It's not the CD. It's definately a hardware problem.  Could be something like the CD drive, the hard drive, alot of things. Run hardware test, update bios, etc. Change out your RAM too as a last resort. -----Original Message----- From: Clayton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 3:46 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: W2K Pro Install Your CD is pooched.
