XP Repair keeps restarting after changing hardware

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I would highly suggest unplugging ALL devices from your computer except
the keyboard (even the mouse). Now try doing the repair operation by
booting off your Windows XP CD, choose install, press R to repair, and
let it go from there. It may be something that is currently connected
to the computer that is causing the problem
