I am having problems getting my XP Home O.S. to boot on new motherboard. I have run Windows startup disk and repair but still nothing. The drive is being detected in BIOS and hangs at start up. I am trying to not lose the data.Do I need to add partition or Flash Bios or something? Replace old BIOS with new BIOS via slave drive on another computer?
View 13 RepliesRecently my hard drive crapped out on me so I had to take my external hd and use the as my internal hd.... everything worked as far as installing windows xp etc. I have a cable modem with a wireless router (which works because I'm on the laptop now), so I figured I'd hop on the internet and download some drivers etc... Well here lies the problem, computer isn't picking up the internet and when I used my ISP's cd, the cd told me that i didn't have a network adapter... I do have a network adapter; it's built into the motherboard. I downloaded a driver from intel and burned the *.exe onto a cd and ran it in hopes that it would work.

When i boot my computer up, it is not recognizing the hard drive. I just goes through the boot agent screen and then says media tst failure, check cables. I bought a new ata cable, but the motherboard is still not recgnizing the drive, even with the bios settign set to automatically find it. this started teh other day when i got i n my case to dust it out. At first it was booting and tellin me that the dram timing was too tight but then it would not work at all.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I try installing Windows XP Pro on the hard drive I can't seem to get the hard drive detected. I actually get to see it in windows XP and as well as in the BIOS, but when it gets to the installaton, It just won't see it. So my mother board is an Asus K8V SE Deluxe and my hard drive is a Western Digital Serial ATA drive 10000 RPM model number: WD360.
I tried the windows xp pro titanium 1.0 with service pack 2. Still couldn't detect it. I also tried many drivers from the internet, all of them were boot disks. That din't work either. I actually never checked the jumpers, I know there is no slave/master... on the drive but where is it suposed to be placed by default? Also I have 2 other IDE hard drives, but formatted in NTFS and my Raptor one is in Fat32, does it have anything to do with it? One also has Windows XP on it.
One of my computers has had an MSI motherboard just put into it, but the USB ports are not hooked to it. How do I get them connected?

My question is can they fix this without having to replace
the motherboard?
My friend has recently bought a package PC, and the included motherboard drivers are... well, rubbish. I'm trying to find the right drivers for it, but the SiS website is useless, nevermind the Foxconn website. The motherboard is:Foxconn 655A01-FX-6LRS, Chipset (AFAIK): 655FX 964. I'm only used to nForce drivers (a single download), and this is just painful by comparison!I've already made 2 failed attempts to install the drivers, with no success. Which drivers do I need? At the minimum just the sound would be ok - he doesn't need the onboard graphics.

If it is the motherboard (Am I correct in assuming that I will need to shell out $200 or more for a full xp sp2 retail).
I recently got a new motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-81915P-MF). I was on an AGP board and I upgraded so I could get a newer graphics card. I installed the new motherboard (without uninstalling Windows XP Pro) and I get BSOD. I have tried reinstalling XP PRO, booted from disc. It would work for a while until it froze, and then BSOD again. I have put in new hard drives and it still won't work. I get various BSOD's everytime. I'm not overclocking, my cpu chip is perfectly compatible and I have 2GB RAM so it can't be memory.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'll buy a new motherboard with video card, cpu and memory but I will keep the old HDD. My old mobo is burnt so I can't boot the PC. I want to do a fresh install on C: but I have some data that I need. I have a few ideas but I don't know if they'll work.
1)Can I use Windows XP Live USB edition to boot with the new mobo, copy the data from C: to another partition and then do a clean Windows install(well, only the C: partition)?
2)What if I do a Windows Repair Install, copy the data from C: to another drive and then do a clean install?(I don't think this is a good option because the user settings and program files will be deleted and I want to keep them so I will know what apps will I have to install.
I just ordered a new mobo and will be upgrading to XP from 2000, which is currently installed on the hard drive I'll be using. I know it is always best to do a clean install with a new mobo but by doing the upgrade to XP will I avoid the problems of putting an old OS on a new mobo?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy main XP Pro machine failed last night, with symptomology consistent with an actual failure of the motherboard. I'm going to try and attack it methodically tonight, but realistically I think the board will be "pining for the fjords.".I would like to take the primary disk from that machine, and cable it into the
old backup desktop machine in place of that machine's primary hard drive while I figure out what to do. That way I won't have to spend major amounts of time getting the Outlook .pst file moved and configured, not to mention all the other relatively important stuff sitting on that main machine.When I've done that in the past, that has always required a reinstall of Windows because the motherboards are totally different architectures and obviously take a different set of drivers and dlls and what have you.But I have a hunch this is not necessary if one knows the right tricks or perhaps how to run the mysterious Repair console.
Can anyone talk me through what I need to do in order to stick a hard drive with a good, running XP Pro installation onto a foreign machine? A second question: I run a small network at home cable modem into SMC .Barricade 4 port hub. The failing machine connects to the hub, as does a wireless router. I've found that when my primary machine is turned off (or in the case of this failure, is dead) that none of my networking works wired or wireless. I had to cable the backup desktop machine directly into the cable modem in order to have any connectivity. Just wired into the hub it waits forever for an IP address. I just don't understand what the main machine has to do with the networking process thought that was the job of the hub.
I have an ethernet port that is physically connected to my motherboard. For some reason, when I formatted my main drive, and re-installed Windows XP, it will not detect it no matter what I do. I tried searching for new hardware through Windows as well, but nothing seems to be working. Luckily, I have an ethernet card laying around that I wasn't using, so that's how I'm connecting to the internet right now. A little bit about my system: I am connected to a Linksys WRT4G router, which is connected to my cable modem. When I plugged in the ethernet card that I had laying around, it found it right away and is working fine. I'm just that kind of person that feels if it isn't working how it's supposed to work I get all cranky. My type of motherboard is listed in my sig.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently replaced my motherboard with a New GA-965P-DQ6 motherboard,and a Core 2 Extreme QX6700. it has 1 IDE, 1 FDD controller and 6 SATA slots. i am using a 650 PSU from Antec and a Big Typhoon cooler. From preparation to reboot into Windows XP i was told to reboot from the Windows XP Home edition install CD. I hooked up my gigabyte DVD-RW as master and my IDE Western Digital 80g 7200rpm as slave, to the only IDE slot - also changed the pin setting behind the drives. then when i turned the PC on, i went into BIOS setup and set it to boot from CDROM first (there is only 1 selection for optical drive). However, for some reason, the startup just couldnt recognize the DVD-RW and couldnt boot from it. Can someone please help as i am stressed and befuddled (tried switching master and slave but it didnt work)

I've tried just safe mode but it only gets as far as btkernel then resets. Any ideas why this might be? was working fine with previous board? Is it because I didn't install the new board drivers before fitting? is there any way to fix it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was just curious as to how I go about installing Windows XP onto a basically new computer. Reason being, my motherboard was recently fried, so I had it replaced, but I have to reinstall windows myself.Now when I turn on the computer with the monitor in and all, it just flashes a screen with blue boxes, and never gets to anywhere. Is this a problem, or am I just not doing the correct way of going about a fresh installation like this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy P5RD2-VM Ethernet port fried for some reason, so I purchased another Asus P5K Deluxe w/wifi. Also, it was taking at least 10 minutes to boot my old system, probably due to junk collected over time on my system. My question is Should I do a fresh XP install on a new hard drive (I don't need the space) or can I fresh install onto a new folder on my existing boot drive? Can I use MS File Settings & Transfer Wizard to push everything over to the new boot folder? Or am I creating more work than necessary? Is there a better way to change motherboards and do a fresh install with existing equipment?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSince a few months after i put my system together I have been having an annoying problem. I have 2 hard drives, a main one and one for storage. When i boot the computer it will occasionally freeze when the bios gets to checking the storage drive. I can usually move the plug on the motherboard to a different port and it will work. But lately it hasn't worked. I had to unplug the drive so the computer would boot. It has been happening more and more until now, when something just quit. ASUS P5RD2-VM Motherboard, the drive that has been giving me trouble is 320 GB Seagate Barracuda. It is the only SATA i have that's why i thought the MB's SATA ports could be bad? Any thoughts?
View 1 Replies View RelatedToday, I tried to start up my XP computer; it gets to a splash screen saying that the motherboard is optimised for the Intel-P4 combination (which always pops up after POST and before the system boots up) and it just stopped. Rebooting encounters the same problem.I can't boot from floppy, CD, or DVD drives, and cannot get to the BIOS setup (hitting the appropriate key just gives me a blinking cursor on a black screen with which I can't type).There is obviously something seriously wrong, but it's beyond my very limited skills.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIve just installed a new motherboard and cpu but are now having issues getting going. The cpu is a AMD 3700 939 single core.The MOBO is a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939.
I have 1 gig of ram running on single channel and have tried swapping them out and moving them around with no success.I have a X850XT graphics card installed.
If i try and boot with the existing os on the harddrive it just keeps going through the boot cycle over and over.If i try and run the XP setup it locks up where it says Setup is Starting windows at the bottom left of the screen.
If i run Knoppix from cd all is good and i can get going and explore my harddrive etc.
I'm running on Windows XP and I'm unable to install my mobo drivers. It's an Asus A8N-E. When I try to install them directly from the CD, it shows the installation completing, and then a window pops up displaying only "1155:". I tried downloading the latest drivers from both the nVidia website and the Asus website, and neither work. When they are installed, Windows will attempt to load, and then blue screen and restart.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a friend who's motherboard was fried and he also had to change the power supply. He brought it to a computer shop and they diagnosed and told him to replace the two. He replaced it and now it will just boot pass the memory test and before the windows screen comes up saying windows xp loading, the blue screen of death comes up for 1 second and restarts, this process continues to occur. I heard you can try to run the repair but he also needs the cd key or install xp right over with the same key. Unfortunately I don't have the key. I heard you can run the recovery console and fix it but I'm not to sure exactly how to do that and wouldn't mind a little help with some step by step instructions. It has to do with the HAL.
