Well after a few attempts of removing the mem, and switching I mananged to get to the windows boot section.

I took one out, tried to boot off the windows xp cd, and it told me the drive was corrupt. Tried the other RAM stick, didn't get as far as I did to the other stick... Put both in... usually now and then it failed to go as far as the first stick coming up with .sys file is corrupted before then... usually some different file each time. Sometimes it went to the install window, delete partition etc.. screen. When it did i went to install window to be told it was corrupted again.. after trying a few more times doing the same thing I suspected a HD issue.

So I decided to try out the delete partitions stuff.. selected to delete the main partition, and then retried to install windows XP on it. Success... now I just need to find out whether its fixed all the other problems....
