I just put together a new system. New MB, Processor and Video card and attempted to use my old HDD already loaded with XP from my old system. It worked in the past so i figured it would again.
I have 2 internal HDD. When i go to my BIOS it sees them both but the odd thing is, when i go to boot with the HDD loaded with windows it says its not bootable. If i try to boot with the HDD "not" loaded with windows it shows me the XP loading screen for 2 seconds, flashes the blue screen and restarts.
With Windows7 not to far away i dont really want to buy Vista, nor do i like Vista. Is that what i need to do, is that whats causing this issue? Am i asking my old OS to do to much recgonizing new hardware?
No luck with safe mode either.
Hopefully you dont need my new computer specs, im at work and dont remember the MB just know im going from an old P4 3.6Ghz/ASUS MB/ATI X800 pro older system to if im correct a M4 ASUS MB/AMD Phenom 2 3.0 quad core/ASUS/Nvidia chipset "Dark Knight" 1GB video card.
ANY responses would be greatly appreciated..Thank you!
