Installed a used drive to get a PC going as a loaner but can't get the XP to boot up out of safe mode. Bios found the drive but I can't locate any MB discs & after installing another Video card, with Software, that didn't work either. MSI MB may need install disc or something. The older days i used to delete Enum out of the registry & reload everything but don't know if that works any more. Anyone ever have this problem?

XP on a drive that existed on another system, now put into a new system?

Yes, that often happens. The OS sees all that new hardware and does not know what to do.
