Ok guys just bought a new PC for my wife. upgrading her from her old HP..
2.4ghz wolfdale dual core FYI: Old pc had a single core 1.6ghz intel something
400w PSU
3gb ram
P35-DSL gigabyte MB
other parts (cd drive / hard drive) from old computer
So I pull out the HD after building the PC, plug it in and turn it on. It wont boot up windows. When I crank it up, I get a quick blue screen that is too fast to read, then it restarts. Do I need a fresh install of windows or is there something I can do in command prompt/bios to fix this problem? I do not want to delete the HD if at all possible because of all the info on it.
It has the "HP Recovery Console" on the HD as well, which gets me to cmd prompt at C:\WINDOWS. did a chkdsk and it found a couple bad files and fixed em, but still no boot up.
If any of you know any commands in prompt or any other way for me to get XP to boot, please share. It will be much appreciated
