You must boot from the XP CD and do a repair install after swapping the
drive to a different computer. wrote in message oups.com... I purchased a new computer with Vista installed. I installed my old IDE HDD with XP installed to the new computer and now I cannot boot from XP. I tried to reinstall XP but got blue screen every time. Can anyone help please? |

It won't work because the XP drive doesn't have the drivers installed for
your new machine. Do a repair install of Windows XP as per the instructions on my website: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how...dows_xp_in.htm -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
