Need Alot Help With XP
I have a really serious problem and here it is. I just bought a new harddrive for my computer and i started to install windows and everything worked out well and windows xp blue screen came and started to setup XP.
It starts to install devices and i get this idiotic error
"A Problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen,restart your computer. If this screen appears again , follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation , ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updated you might need.
If the problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory opions such as caching and shadowing.If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:
*** STOP : 0x0000000A (0x00000010, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8051AA58)

What do i have to do? Im doing almost everything please help me
Computer Spec: ML 770 Core 2 Quad Q6600 1GB DDR2*4
Harddrive Spec: Samsung F1 7200rpm 3GB's 750GB
Printer-friendly version
You can have microsoft support to get rid of the boot able drive.
Ok heres what i got
I need to update my BIOS but i dont know how to make a bootable CD or how to update BIOS without Windows. Its a tricky error cuz i dont know what the problem is. I need to disable the shadowing and caching. And aslo some say that my Windows disk is corrupted. Im clueless
If someone has some guides or pointers how to make a bootable CD or how to get rid of the Blue Screen of Doom please help
The original equipment CD should be a bootable one.
If you don't have one, you have to get one.
If this was a package unit (ie: Comaq or Dell or HP)there should have been one with it.
If there wasn't, you have to contact the manufacturer.
If this was a scratch built, see the person who built the computer.
It you built it yourself, well, I hate to say it, but, you may have to buy a copy of XP or Vista or whatever you would like to use . . . .
I don't know if Vista is up to snuff just yet. My preference at the moment would be XP with all the patches.
keep us posted.

Another thing just occurred to me - - -
It is possible there could be compatability issue with the new HD.
I would be more suspicious of that than the system disk.
You should check the type and the hookup configuration of the HD.
You can't just stick any HD in any machine. (ie: ATA, IDE and such) Speed could make a difference.
How old is the computer?
If the system disk (ie: Original installation disk) was good in the past, it should still be good.
Unless the CD's been damaged.
And , I hate to say it, but, there have been faulty HDs out there, as well, right from the manufacturer.
Keep up the fight and let us know - Dz
A couple of more things just came to me
I've not installed a hard drive on an XP machine but on the old Win 95 and 98s you kind of had to set a lot on things up yourself in the bios, IRQ's and also identify the hard drive in the bios.
You also had to indicate whether it was master or slave.
I'm not sure how much of this stuff is Plug and Play today or if any of it is for that matter.
Another suggestion is to contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and give them a description of what is happening, with the error message, and ask them for some suggestions.
Again - let us know how you're doing.
Does anyone know how to solve it?
The 0A stop error means that it is a driver or hardware problem. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314063 for example.
Thanks to the last poster for prodding my memory a bit
It could be and IRQ address problem.
I would check the connections on the hard drive and/or the order they are connected (are you using one HD or two?)or the order they start.
Check the bios setup.
Let us know how you're progressing
