alright this is my typical setup that i just upgraded from junk:
PC CHIPS K7 M811 VIA KT 266A/8235
AMD Duron 1ghz
512mb DDR 400 Corsair Value Select
20gb Samgsung Hard Drive
Radeon 9200SE
FIRST OF ALL..
The processor and the hard drive i left alone, and apparently i've changed the motherboard twice and it does the same thing. The hard drive works perfectly fine, tested on another computer and everything booted up, but when i install it into this one, it'll freeze just before the windows xp logo appears. I'm guessing the problem is that i configured this hard drive on another computer (everything was currpted in the first place) or it has something to do with the NTFS/FAT file system thing cause it shows 18gb on BIOS. Second, i tried booting up with a windows xp cd, that boots fine on ALL the other systems i tried with it. Checked the BIOS settings, priority and everything was set correctly and now i cant figure this out. I've spent hours checking everything and it was all ok..can someone please figure this out..lol thanks in advance
