Hi, i'm new here but i've been trawling the forums to find a solution but i've found nothing so far. i hope someone can help.
my problem is that when i hook my ATA-133 maxtor hard disk up to my new board (i'm currently using it with my old machine, typing this out), XP won't boot. it get's to the safe mode/ use last know good configuration/boot windows normally screen, but the i get a quick blue screen (so fast i cant read the error message) and the the pc reboots.
if i use a boot floppy disk i can access the hard disk and browse through programs etc.. but still XP won't boot.
anyone know how this could happen or what i can do to remedy the situation?
i figured i could just hook the OS up to the new board and all that would need to change would be updating the drivers etc...
obviously not. any help would be appreciated.
my new system
MSI P965 Platinum Mainboard
MSI NX8800GTS 640MB GFX Card
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU
NorthQ Godzilla 500W PSU
2GB Corsair DDR2 Twin2X RAM
thanks.
