|
|
So I'm trying to my reformat my laptop which has Windows 7 installed and I wanted to reformat it to Windows XP Professional, and when all the files are trying to load up, a BSoD occurs.
I try reformatting with a USB and CD, but no luck at all.
It says process1_initialization_failed.

Nope, not at all.
I don't think it's my memory fault because last time I installed a fresh Windows 7 from Vista with no error or so whatever.
It's just that when I'm trying to reformat it again back to Windows XP Professional, it keeps BSoDing on me.

Two notes:
1. Windows doesn't like it if you try to downgrade it. I don't know why, but it tends not to budge.
2. Check your ram first, then the other hardware. It could be a problem with that.

Not my ram at all because last time, I can reformat to Windows 7 just fine, but now when I'm trying to reformat it to Windows XP, it's BSoDing on me.
