help with new motherboard

[Disconn3cted]

I am using my old hard drive which already has xp installed and it worked the first time I turned it on but now it won't load windows....the bios see my harddrive and it will try to load windows but can't. Is something wrong with my harddrive or is it plugged in wrong? I have an IDE disk drive and a sata hard drive if thats important.

have you tried booting in safe mode or with windows cd inserted ???

[Disconn3cted]

dont have the windows CD anymore and there is no option for safe mode (after the bios it tries to start loading windows but the screen goes black and it never happens)

download the xp (home, pro w/e) somewhere on a torrent site and burn it as an iso on CD and boot with it.

try to repair without the console first (first option if your in the cd menu)
if you see the HDD in ur bios, theres nothing wrong with it, just software faults
but your kinda nothing without the cd

Unplug this battery and w8 2min and plug again.



or

Maybe Ur problem is about sata disk needs sata disket in order to install sata driver.Find sata drivers and when u start pc press F6 and install sata driver.
