I finally got my new mobo working (as seen in this thread: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/har [...] 307#547307

After setting the BIOS up and getting the hdds sorted out, I've found that winXP wont boot. It begins to load for a second, then the comp restarts.
I've been rather cursed with this very problem a couple times before, and running chkdsk /r in the Recovery Console has always fixed it.. just a bad spot on the hdd. Yet, I've run it this time, as usual, and it didnt fix the problem.. If I choose "boot to safe mode", it shows a bunch of OS components load, then stalls and reboots.

Any suggestions on what I should do? Perhaps reinstall the registry files?
