unable to upgrade to Millennium or XP

Jono · 07-01-2004, 08:20 AM

I have been trying to upgrade my computer from windows 98 to Millennium or XP. Both disks start to load OK until the computers goes to restart loading windows where it will just freeze! I have tried the hard disk in another computer which continues with setup without any problem, However, when transfered back to original computer it won't even start up even though Mill/XP has been fully loaded and works fine on other computer. Can anyone help please.

Do you have the minimum requirement for either XP/ME. That is the only thing that I can think of.

1. What is the spec of the system you're trying to install to?
2. Could it be the memory is a tad messed up? I had that problem once when I OCd my memory too far and couldnt install properly.
3. At what point during the installation does it "freeze"?
