Install issues
Posted: Wed Jan 06, 2010 3:48 pm
Hey guys, I was given a PC Clone from my father in law, who said that the mother in law downloaded viruses to it and the computer was dead. I got it home, booted it up and was able to log into her XP account, look at some of her files and what not... the comp is a intel 2.66 duel... the bios boot screen does not give any info, just a brief 3 second option to hit F2 to go into the bios or F10 to go to the boot sequence. when I load the CD, it goes and asks me what language I want, then allows me to tell it to start up/install. I get the Ultimate Edition screen with the loading bar, then the loading bar goes away, and the screen goes black. nothing from this point forward.
Is it possible that the system is a 64 where the CD is for the 32? would this cause this?
I am not sure how to find out what bit the processor is....
Any other idea on this if it isnt the bit that is causing this?
Ok, I just logged into the XP account, and found that in the system info page, it is listed as an x86 system... thats not a 64 system, but a 32 right?
