    I was wondering if anyone had this problem before... im reformatting my girlfriends laptop (which just got a fresh new hard drive from BB insurance or whatever and a new fan) but when i put my copy of XP SP2 cd in, it runs through the loading of the setup and then it goes to "windows is starting up" about to enter the setup screen and then the computer suddenly shuts down.. Do i need to somehow install the drivers first?
