Troiuble migrating hard drive w/XP to a new machine
I tried to install my current HD with XP into a new-to-me system (Intel MB and 2.4G processor), but windows won't start. System seems to POST; I can get into bios where everything seems OK, and can run a disk/memory diagnosis program from floppy, but windows never gets to the splash screen - it gives me the screen that says "Windows didn't start properly, which mode would you like to start in'. When I've done this before, Windows has recognized the new hardware (MB and processor) and gotten itself going. I also tried a HD from another system to check, with the same results. Will I have to do a clean install of Windows... or is this a hardware problem? Many thanks! |
