Hi guys, I just received my 8890 and was attempting to install XP Pro on it.

I managed to get it to boot up using the CD and it was running fine and dandy till I got to the HDD partitioning part. I created 2 partitions (1 15GB and 1 45GB). When it started the actual partitioning, it FROZE UP! No HDD activity, no CD-ROM activity at all for about 5-10mins.

So I restarted the system and it told me to "Press any key to boot using CD". Did that and then it gave me my worst nightmare......it showed me a General Protection Fault!

Subsequently, any attempts at boot up would give me the exact same thing, a GPF.


I would really appreaciate any and help provided on this matter as I am already at my wits end.

Thanks!
