| 267922 | 2004-09-02 06:29:00 | No prob :) Umm so it actually fully installed XP then?? If it did we got a bit further! When you say starting Windows, do u mean when the XP logo appears after u boot, or it gets as far as the Welcome screen? Umm connect the old hdd back to the system (as a slave connect it to the other cable from the primary ide connection off the mobo). If you WANT to use 2 hdd's in the system. I think once, XP is working OK. that old hdd which it says has a read disk error, we can try to format it to try and remove that error. Depends how bad it is. |

| 267924 | 2004-09-02 08:04:00 | Have just installed a hard drive in XP, if you are using a 80 conductor 40 pin IDE cable the rule appears to be blue to motherboard primary IDE, middle grey to slave HD, end black to master HD. Red stripe to no 1 | FrankS (257) | ||

Depends how bad it is. > Well, this old HDD has an OS installed and I don't want to destroy this OS. It is working perfectly in another machine. When the system detects the disk error, it just hangs there. Looks like this machine is really sick. |

| 267927 | 2004-09-02 09:54:00 | Ah ok just after post then. So it doesnt even get to the install bit to install Windows XP..... Does it hang the system, (pause or anything), while detecting any of the devices?? That u can see?? Does it list all the IDE devices?? (press pause, if u see the devices, then any key to continue). Or does it beep (hopefully once), show the devices / post then crash? I suggest u find someone kind enough to give u a loan of a CPU, since thats nearly the only thing left to check. It's starting to sound like there's something wrong with the CPU. |

| 267929 | 2004-09-02 10:06:00 | just to make things a little clearer ... you can boot with a dos boot disk ok. when booting with the winXP disk you get the blue screen. when useing a bootable hardrive out of another pc it blue screens on boot up. last time i had this problem it wasn't a hardware fault and seeing as a dos boot disk works fine then its not a major hardware fault. useing a hardrive (os) out of another machine will most likly not run anyway so it dosn't prove much. have you booted with the DOS boot disk and formated the hardrive ?? you will need to make sure the bios antivirus/protection is off. |
