Manufacturer-spplied hardware support disk

Guess your computer is not compatible with Windows 7. Reinstall windows XP run compatibility test from Microsoft

These errors can be misleading. Try setting the BIOS to default.


Remove all USB attached devices.

Test one DIMM at time. One slot at a time. To eliminate possible bad RAM. Unplug PC. Opening case. Remove all RAM. Use static precautions!

Re-install Windows. Clean install works best. All data will be lost.

Lastly you may have other hardware problems. If it does another blue screen after reloading windows, especially with a clean install.

To resolve this behavior, contact the manufacturer of your computer to obtain a BIOS that is fully ACPI compliant.

To work around this behavior, manually install the Standard PC hardware abstraction layer (HAL):

1. Restart the computer to restart Setup.
2. When Setup starts again, press F7 (not F6) when you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver" screen.

Windows automatically disables the installation of the ACPI HAL and installs the Standard PC HAL.

This error is typically related to the OS attempting to access the hard drive during install or startup.

So, it sounds like you've got some hardware like a RAID controller that is causing the problems. If you're attempting to install to a single hard drive, disable the RAID controller. If you've just installed some type of hardware, try removing it.

If you don't have a RAID controller, update your Bios from the manufacturer and see how that works for you

w8000 a very old PC not supported by HP.
windows 2000 support ended like 15 years ago.. W2k. is gone. w2k only runs on very old pcs with very old ACPI
(power controls is that)

this PC is only supported with XP
never 2000.
HP tells you that if you looked.
park the 2000 disk or use it as frezzbee. IMO

id get w7 disk and use that, it might work.
but will cost you a license from MS,
about 5 times the value of w8000

why not just go here, and get used $20 w7 pc
save a bundle of case and grief messing with any legacy junk....avoid legacy junk and win.

Please contact your system vendor for an updated bios. If you are unable to obtain an updated bios or the latest bios supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant, you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed - it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation."

RESOLUTION
Manually install the Standard PC hardware abstraction layer (HAL):
1. Reboot the computer to restart Setup.
2. When Setup starts again, press F7 when you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver" screen.
Windows automatically disables the installation of the ACPI HAL and installs the Standard PC HAL. You should also contact the manufacturer of your computer to obtain a BIOS that is fully ACPI compliant

newer os like xp and vista have many new power management feautures like acpi-advanced configuration power interface.. when booting your pc press DEL or f2 to enter bios and check if your bios supports this feature.. i have not used ibm pcs but still check with this..

I have located some info on this board. it was released as a "Medion" board

there is some BIOS and driver stuff available HERE

http://www.medionusa.com/ and select customer care.. you need the exat model no or the serial no of the PC to continue though.

Also http://www.treiber.de/ may me of assistance as I think they are the real manufacturer but as I cannot read German I cant really be sure. they have the link to Medion on their webpage...

HIH and please post back results

Do you have the correct version of Windows for INTEL based x86 processors?
Either that or you may need to update your BIOS software for that.

try to make bios settings default and make a proper installation
