that is a very strange problem, i have never seen that before. i dont think it has anything to do with your harddrive, but you never know i guess. i would start with teh RAM. download memtest, burn it to a disk, then run it and make sure your RAM is ok.

you dont need a working harddrive to test with memtest, memtest creates a boot CD, which you boot off of, then run the test. google it.

gnight, but for Memtest:

google memtestx86
download the program and make a boot floppy out of it on ur roomates comp.
boot up with your comp.

and run the test for 3-4 hours.

oh and btw, it most likely not ur ram.

Have you tried scrolling all the way down? Sometimes when installing programs/OSs, you can't agree until you've scrolled the licence agreement all the way down so as to assure the computer that the licence agreement has been read (har har har you wish b**** ) and it can safely assume that you're aware that since it's a microsoft product you have absolutely *NO* rights whatsover and you're on your own.
