| 625845 | 2007-12-31 01:45:00 | And you did a clean install of Windows on this hard drive? Or are you trying to get it to boot with the old install? Because it won't like the old drivers on it. | pctek (84) | ||
| 625846 | 2007-12-31 02:15:00 | Oh I also forgot to mention this as well, where have we heard that before ?? :) |

| 625847 | 2007-12-31 03:13:00 | okie, i forgot to mention this but, when i first brought it home, installed my ram, cd drive, and hard drive, at first it got to the screen where it loads my windows xp. than it restarts the comp. but now when i try and start up my comp, it restarts right after the screen where it shows the status of the comp. oh ya, i tried usin that ultimatebootcd, it worked fine, i mean i got to actually get to my desktop. but other than that, no luck at all. You cant usually simply plug in an old HD with existing Operating system and expect to work. Sometimes if the old components are close enough to the new it will. Get your windows CD, along with your product Key, and wipe the drive and do a fresh Install. Make sure any data thats on the drive is backed up someplace because this will erase every thing. The shop you purchased the parts from couldn't have tested anything as the PC was not complete. The Ultimate Boot CD works because it's running from the CD, not the PC's Hard Drive. As Pctek pointed out - old drivers - wont work. You will need to use the CD/drivers that came with the Motherboard you purchased. |

| 625848 | 2007-12-31 06:21:00 | no i couldnt take it bak to the seller because i bought it online unless i ship it back.(was that a bad idea?). the hardrive was new, i installed an os to it. when i bought the comp, i didnt buy all the parts because i already had a few of my own already. all the computer came was with its motherboard, power supply, all the cards, cpu and the fans, so the rest i had to install myself. i'f im missing anything say it. | Vict (13232) | ||
| 625849 | 2007-12-31 08:13:00 | Vict - when you assembled the PC, did you just install the OS and now when trying to boot for the very first time you have this problem. OR did it run OK after installing / 1st Boot and after adding in other software its playing up? |

| 625850 | 2007-12-31 10:55:00 | when i assembled it, i put in my old harddrive the one i was using for my other computer and it went to the windows xp loading screen than poof it restarted on me. so it never actually ran ok since i never gotten to the desktop. | Vict (13232) | ||
| 625851 | 2007-12-31 19:30:00 | You need to do a fresh install on the drive. Reinstall Windows from scratch, then do all the drivers. |
