Well, I am having this peculiar problem with a laptop. I am installing XP on it and for last six hours its loading setup files! Is it normal/possible on a healthy machine?
specs
Lenovo 3000 C100
1.73GHz Pentium M processor, running on the 915 chipset and 256 MB RAM
Of course it's an old laptop and why it's getting a fresh OS installation is because:
* It was making a sound (trrrrrr trrrrrr) every time I used to right click while on desktop.
* The laptop was populating each text field with \\\\\\\\ automatically whenever I used to click in such field. For example it was not even allowing me to put password while logging in windows using admin account. Hence I was forced to try and diagnose the problem with a user account that required no password but was also not having full system access.
* NOD32 caught a few viruses and so did Avira. But Hijackthis log was clear.
All please pitch in ... as quickly as possible!
