Its a laptop, that had some kind of Windows test version, I guess the one right before they came out with Vista, because that’s what it looks like. It says "Windows 2007 Test version only". So I was just gonna get rid of it. I have a New Windows I wanted to load onto it.
It boots alright, starts to load some of the drivers, get to the screen where it asks you if you want to repair press x, install press ENTER.
Before I have the time to press install, the whole thing shuts down.
Every time.
Can you help me?
The stats:
Computer = Compaq Presario V2000
Software = Windows XP Home Edition (not a rip, store bought)
lol Can you explain how to do that innnnnn Simple Terms?
But its also not Vista. Its a Test Version of Windows 2007, that looks and acts like Vista. It says on the bottom of the screen

"Windows 7
For testing purposes only. Build 7000"
Also, the laptop may have a nasty virius from the previous owner. It shuts off if I boot from CD, but also Ive found, if I do disk clean up, the laptop will shut down as well. I think theres something protecting it self. Am I crazy lol

You said Vista, that gave me a very good clue and then you said XP which gave me a different clue. When you boot up XP you need to tell it to delete the current parrtition, then have it format NTSF and when it finishes it will install Windows XP.
The reason is the NTSF file formats of XP and Vista are different. XP does not generally load onto a Vista partition, but Vista will load on to a XP partition.
