superfiercelink Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi,When I try to install Windows, I get a blank, black screen. Before the blank screen, It states:"Setup Is Inspecting Computers Hardware configuration", and then the screen goes blank. I have tried to leave it on all night to see if it would load, but it did not. Currently the computer ,which is a desktop which i have built, and is running Fedora 8 at this time. I am trying for a dual boot of Windows and Fedora 8.System SpecsProcessor: Amd Athlon 6400 PlusMother Board: Asus K8N-E Deluxe (AI series)RAM: 2 GBHard drive: About 200GB of Hardrive Space= 30GB IDE ; 74GB SATA ; and 100GB IDE *NOTE* My SATA 74GB is recognized as RAM and not in the recognized by the BIOS, and Fedora 8 is installed on the 74GB.Video: ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128MB AGP Video Card1 DVD-R/RW rewritable disc drive.I think thats it.
