"A problem has been detected and Windows has shutdown to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restat your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
The BIOS in the system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vender or visit
http://www.hardware-update.com for an updated BIOS. If you are unable to obtain an updated BIOS or the latest BIOS supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant,you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, somply press F7 key when you are prompted install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed-it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation.
Technical Information:
***STOP: 0x000000A5 (0x00000002,0x81E50940,0XE1813008, 0X81DFEBB8)".
when i was transfering the files, at the end it said that 8 files couldnt be accessed or copied, something like that, but it also said that it had nothing 2 do with the OS, could this be a reason?
EDIT:also when i pick the OS, i can here the HD loading, and i get the white loading bar on the bottom of the screen, then i get the STOP error.
