I am tryng to install xp. My hard drive has been formatted NTFS.

After the installation is mostly complete, i get the following error

message:

 

Sub-component Distributed Transaction Coordinator caused an exception

while processing the OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION

 

It says "the DTC service could not be installed."

 

After clicking ok, the computer restarts and appears to begin

installing again, then it will restart and give an error that winows

can't start because config.sys is missing.

 

The original problem with this computer was that it just **** off and

began restarting on its own before finishing loading windows.

 

I tried to format and reinstall, and here I am.

 

thanks for any help.

    You probably have a boot sector virus.

    Boot to the setup CD, and press 'r' for the Recovery Console prompt.

     

    Enter the commands:

    FIXBOOT

    then

    FIXMBR

    then

    CHKDSK /R

    then reinstall XP.

    I'm thinking maybe the hard drive is bad?

     

    Is that a possibility?

     

    thanks
