What does VISTA do to HD (boot sector??) to cause this?
- Fresh install of VISTA (Home Premium) on Compaq V2000 with 1.2 gig of RAM.
- Processor is obviously not capable, maxing out constantly, causing system to 'stutter.'
- Trying to reinstall XP from factory disks.
- Reinstall runs untill point where computer reports "starting xp" and then the system shuts down completely.
- Tried other XP install disks, same result. System shuts down at same point every time.
- Install never gets to point where disk format/partitioning is an option.
- After rebooting VISTA will start without problems...
I am stuck with a beautiful os on a computer that's too slow to run it.
