All,
Not sure if this belongs in a Hardware forum or a Software forum.
I have just purchased a new Abit AN52 MOBO, and an AMD X2 5600+, and 2 new 500gb Sata drives, and a HD2600 XT, 4 x 1 GB 800mhz DDR2
I have installed all in my case, but I am unable to boot to Windows XP from my original 80GB IDE drive. It gets to the Windows XP Splash screen with the little blue scrolly thing, and it sits there for a few seconds with the scrolly thing scrolling, and then the system resets.
I have tried a Windows XP install on a "test" partition I created on one of the SATA drives, and it install's beautifully, and I can install all the drivers that came with the MOBO, video card etc - and it all works fine - hence I am able to post this message from a working Windows installation.
I suspect that the old installation is loading some driver which is conflicting with the new hardware.
How do I "fix" my original installation so that it will boot on the new hardware?
I'd prefer to get my old installation working so that I don't have to reinstall everything.
Regards,
Tan DJ
