acpi non compliance stops Win XP installation

hi,

my friends system had win xp installed earlier, but now when i tried re installing, it says the mobo is not acpi compliant. the mobo is a Gigabyte 915 model and when i start the pc, BIOS says the mobo is ACPI compiant and it is turned on.

any one has any idea?

(btw, i flashed the bios to latest without any use.)

nb.

Try using the "Load Failsafe Defaults" in BIOS.

I tried it already but without any use. I even tried clearing all cmos data to by removing the battery and tried. Cmos got cleared but xp failed again.

any other suggetions?

thanks sashi.

nb

dude gigabyte is acpi compliant better try a new xp cd with service pack2

hi batista, i know that gb mobo's are acpi compliant. but sorry to say that your solution too failed with the same message.

Is there any option in the BIOS to set the ACPI version?If so set it to a low version like v1 or v2.
Else during installation try pressing F7 to bypass acpi checking.
