3 times windows installing.

omg, who expects windows installing is so hard!!!

i am an apple person. i have ipod, powerbook and g3 blue and white, but i do have windows xp computer for testing a website(my job is making website) and doing my computer classes' homeworks. recently, the windows computer was taking forever to boot, so i decided to re-install everything. ...but i am getting the horrible messages :

we apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. a recent hardware or software change might have caused this. blah blah blah...
then, it won't boot anymore!!! jeez, i've reinstalled windows two times already because of the stupid massage. i gave up with updating windows since it happens after windows update.

well, there is a japanese idiom,"san do me(3times) no sho-jiki(honesty)", which means third time is lucky, so hopefully, i won't get the stupid problem anymore ..but i know that there is the other idiom"ni do(twice) arukoto ha san do(third time) aru.", it never rains but it pours.
