The motherboard went south. Like everone else I have photos and info in the harddrive I want to access. I removed the hd from my brothers working computer and installed mine. It booted fine, I got some of the stuff onto cd's and then a message came up. Something about having three days to recertify or validate the system. I reassambled my borthers computer as it was and all was fine. I built a new system from the ground up and now when I boot the old drive I get the following message and it just keeps going a rebooting cycle. Technical Info Stop: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF748E0BF, 0XF78DA208, 0XF78D9F08) Pci.sys - address F748EoBF base at F7487000, Datestamp 367d855c. What up with this? Is this a program Microsft built into th XP Home Editon so you can only install it once? I ahave a new HD with XP Pro x64 and the system works fine. Whats up with the drive?
Please Help
