broken alienware

Hey Everyone.

I have an Alienware, Area 51, D900T, M7700.

*Everyone runs away*

Please come back and help haha.

After repairing this laptop once already. i decided to format it a while ago, and tried skipping updates and just install The service packs or something! when suddenly BAM!

It died on me, now when i try to install from the Alienware windows xp cd i think it hangs on the same screen forever! "Creating Folder \WINDOWS..." it doesn't seem to want to create this.

See the Video:

Also i have an external Floppy Drive which could help, I've tried a NTSF Boot floppy in it but not sure what commands to use?

Any Help Would be Much Appreciated!

Thanks SuperTed xxxx

It's the hard drive that's failing. Replace it with a new SATA 2.5 Inch Notebook HDD.

I am a computer technician.

You might also try using the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows with those RAID Drivers as well and do a few scandisks on the hard drive(s), or try Western Digital's DLG tools (or Seagate's Seatools). If all else fails, you'll need to replace the hard drive(s).

You need to slipstream your textmode RAID drivers into your Windows XP CD using nlite. I have had issues with it and no RAID drivers.
