OK, go into the BIOS and using the optimal settings this will clock your CPU (Depending) to a lower speed & make a few other changes.

I had this problem & this was the solution.

When its installed, just fix the settings in the BIOS.

Thanks JoePC

Over heating can also cause errors during the install, make sure the HSF is attached correctly & has contact + paste with the CPU.

Make sure the CD-ROM drive your using is not broke or old.

Thanks JoePC

OK its could be a problem with the QTEC, I would clear the BIOS (using the jumpper) then run the installation with only the hard drive & one CDrom connected, different channels (IDE) conect only the Keyboard , mouse & monitor.

Tell me how you get on.

Thanks JoePC

OK sounds like a hardware problem, it could really be anything,

Is the Windows CD scrached at all?

It could be the MB. You will have to try & test to get this one working.

kdjac no nothing like that.

Yeah JoePC i'll just try numerous methods and maybe get hold of a different cd and some diff operating systems

Getting slightly different error now

Plug and play detected an error most likely caused by faulty driver.

check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed, blah blah.

technical information :

**** stop : 0x000000ca (blaj blah blah)

It advises disabling caching and shadowing but i have tried that and still no luck.
