This happened earlier, and I installed regular XP, formatting the drive, and starting over again, so it is not a major hardware problem.Īt this point, the one thing that I can think of is that possibly this older 16x Pioneer Slot Load DVD Drive doesn't like my CD-R's much, though I have burned an extra copy, and know for a fact that they work, because this same disk was able to install on my main HTPC. I will then try to run the XP MCE 2005 disk over that to fix the install, and when it eventually finishes, it will not boot into windows, I get the safe mode or normal startup screen, no matter what I select, my computer just completely reboots. I would try to upgrade, and it would only take me to XP SP2 among other things, I would try a fresh install by opening disk in XP, and I finally got it installed once, but there were errors with almost all of the programs, the Media Center portion wouldn't run at all. I have tried multiple times with various problems. I have problems trying to install XP MCE after that as either an upgrade or as a new install. I can install Windows XP without problem. His business has no use for MCE 2005 of course.
Not an OEM disk because it is from a friend's business where he purchases a pack of liscences from microsoft and they supply the software for download from their website. Well I am building a new Home Theater PC and trying to get XP Media Center 2005 installed.
