Well you can see by the title of this post that I'm not sure where the problem issue lies and I need your help.
A friend of mine bought parts for a new computer. He changed mb/processors as well...going from a PIII800 to an Athelon 2200.
He put everything together and copied his two old 20 gig hd's to two new 40 gig hd's with WD software that came with the new drives.
Problem is.. when he boots up the new system he gets an error as Win XP Pro is starting.
A Problem was detected
Windows is shutting down to prevent damage to your system
He has tried boot up with a different video card and still the problem persists.
Can't get into safe mode, error starts before Windows is able to boot.
The new 40 gig copied hd boots fine if he puts it in the old computer, so he knows it's not a corrupted OS.
Would a repair install help with this? Should he try using ghost to copy the hd's ?
Anyone know how to solve this?
If you need more info...what do I need to provide?
Thanks!!!!!
