Hi help or advise pls would be greatly appreciated
OK swapping / upgrade of HDD for a friend.
Old Celeron 500 on Intel board.
Added a Ram stick, then
copied their 4G old drive (with Drive Image) onto a new 20G Seagate drive. All OK
remove old drive and make new one master OK
system boots and goes into W2K as usual.
system starts loading with the usual b&w screen with progress bar across the bottom - OK
Then - nothing
System restarts the whole boot
Just keeps going around in circles never actually booting or any thing
Drive is recognised and shows the correct size
System counts down the ram memory and so on
I am at a loss!
If i havent given enough detail let me know
Otherwise i would greatly appreciate some advice
cheers
