I just built up my new PC

I have an 80gb hardrive with Vista already ionsatlled on it from a previous computer.

When the computer turns on and boots form the harddrive, it gets to the loading page were the green bars travel horixontally and it says microsft corportion , and instaed of then going on to the login screen the computer rastarts

any suggestions?
 
Do you mean that the OS was an install from a previous rig? I think you need to reinstall windows on that new build in order to get all the correct drivers for the mobo installed. Or you could try to boot from the Vista DVD and "repair" the install that is already on the HD.
 
Yes i installed Vista on the hard drive on an old PC
I also tried another HDD with XP installed on that computer - the same thing happened
 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can't just stick in a drive and have it boot. Try the repair console on the disk and if that doesn't work, do a clean install.
