first, this is a good news, i have a laptop!! finally, bought it with my own money.. YEAAAAHHH

but something annoying happen when i run installation on my new laptop,the problem is when installing windows xp, after setup prosses and the status bar shows something about start windows and BANG!! it show a blue screen like memory dump.

after searching and googling, i found the problem and of course the solution, it’s because the bios configuration is using AHCI hardisk setting, you should change it to IDE or COMPATIBILITY and try re install the windows, it wont happen again :

so what the different about AHCI or IDE bios setting, i dunno neither but from what i read, using ahci is making our system slower, so why using ahci if it make us slower????

this is the first time i found something like this, when i’m going to install XP operating system on my computer. after “press any key to boot from CD ” menu then “inspecting hardware” notification showed, my monitor only give me a blank screen, like nothing happen.

it sucks! knowing have to face a problem that i never expected even i don’t know there is a problem that i/we will face when installation step. every time i install a new operating system it goes well, not like this one.

after checking all hardware on my box and i reassure that everything still working fine, i do cross checking the CD installation to another computer, well the CD still works too. so what the hell problem?? why it show me a blank screen when installation step??

here is the answer, the answer is still on the installation CD, my XP installation CD is do not have a SATA hardisk driver (my new computer using SATA hardisk). so i reburn a XP image that support SATA hardisk and the problem solved.

Sometimes when a new computer join a domain you will get this error

The current time on the computer and the current time on the network are different

this is because the clock on workstation is different from the time setting on the domain server. here is the step to solve this problem.

• Login as local administrator
• Open run and type ‘cmd’
• type ‘net use \\serverIP /user:serverUsername’
• type ‘net time /domain:domainName /set /y’
• type ‘net time \\serverIP /set /y’
• Log out, and you done.

that’s all, piece a cake isn’t it?
