I'm not sure if this is a software/hardware problem, or just XP...
I just bought a Sager 8890. It came without an OS installed, so I took out my Windows XP Home Edition CD and formatted the drive and then it said it copied the installation files. After this, I restarted and it booted to where I should have seen the Windows screen, but instead all I got was a blank black screen that didn't go anywhere. So, I tried again and I read on another forum that I should install my RAID and harddrive drivers during the Windows installation. So, I did this and it copied the installation files and rebooted...this time the screen does not turn on at all. In the beginning, it flashed a little and then just turns off....
Has anyone had this problem or any problem close to it? I would be very grateful for any responses. I want to use my new laptop, but unfortunately I can't until I figure this out
