This should be simple but it's just not working.
My netbook came with XP installed.
A few weeks ago I decided to install Ubuntu 10.4, just to play about with.
My Son is the main user of the netbook and he has moaned like hell and wanted it put back to XP.
So last night, I formatted the HD using Gparted on a bootable USB drive, I deleted the .ext4 partition, scrubbed the drive and reformatted the drive to FAT32.
Then I installed XP onto the USB stick and started the installation.
Things go smoothly while it's loading stuff into RAM, but as soon as it triesto talk to the HDD the computer BSOD's.
I've double checked that the drive is FAT32 (even tried NTFS - makes no difference), the drive is alive and healthy but I keep getting this fecking BSOD. I downloaded a different version of XP and mounted that on the USB stick but same thing happens at the exact same moment during installation.
I'll do it once more and take note of the action exception.
