Hi... I recently ordered a new case, motherboard, and processor...
I originally purchased my computer with Compaq, and it came with WinXP Home
Edition on the harddrive... The harddrive died a while back and I switched it
with a new one, but the same OS and product key registered...
When the computer would not boot up on my new setup I tried the "quick
restore disks" No luck, then I tried the "Restore disk" No Luck... Then I
tried a Win98 boot disk and used fdisk /mbr, no luck.... Then I got a hold of
a copy of WinXP install disk from a friend, as my Compaq computer never came
with one...
I tried that, no luck.. It doesn't even seem to read it... It goes right to
the boot options menu as if there was a problem on the last boot, (safe mode,
safemode w/ commandprompt... etc.)
When I choose one, I tried them all... I get...
"STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF894D640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"
When I researched the error I got
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q316401
As I said, it did not reckognize the install disk, so then I tried the boot
floppies, I think it was a set of 6... I went through the whole process and
everything... When It said to insert the WinXP install disk, I did and it
just blinked everytime I pressed Enter... I waited a few minutes but nothing
happened... I tried the cd that the motherboard came w/ ... that didn't work
either... I tried using a more standard cd-rom drive, still no luck...
I have a maxtor DiamondMax 60GB ATA/133 harddrive... Also, the bios
reckognize the harddrive as the one I mentioned above...
Also, When I put the drive back into my old computer (I gave it to my mother
b/c it was better than her old 650mhz duron) The drive boots up fine... I
assume the problem is because my chipsets different...
Specs
MSI K7N2GM-V, NVIDIA nForce2 IGP 64 + MCP2SL Chipset
AMD AthlonXP 3200+ Barton
and again the harddrive is Maxtor DiamonMax Plus 60GB
Thanks In Advance...
