Had an issue with my brothers computer...
So, my bro was installing win xp pro on his computer after getting his new hdd and cpu cooler.
Whenever the installation reached 11% the HDD would start making weird noises and then the PC just shut off. It turns out that he had the IDE connector in wrong. He plugged the middle connector of the cable into his motherboard, the master into the HDD and the mobo one into the DVD drive.  Once that was sorted it worked perfectly  Lesson: Plug all cables in properly!

Man Linkin93, you live on this website. You joined this year and you almost have as many posts as me.
 Glad to hear you got your brother's computer working properly. What processor motherboard and memory are in his system?
