Current system
Pent 4 3.2
Mother board Intel 915 chip set
sata hard drive 3.0
Win XP sev pac 2
New System
Intel Motherboard chip set 965
Intel dual core E6600
Same sata hard drive
Same memory
Win XP serv pac 2
The system comes up to the point where windows xp screen starts. It will then go the windows screen with startup options i.e. normal safe mode and then will go to a blue screen or it may go straight to the following blue screen Saying that windows has shut down in order to prevent damage to the computer. It goes on to say the problem might be a virus or check the hard drive for proper installation. Then run chkdsk/F. I do not know how to run this test since I can’t get that far in windows. But I really doubt this is a problem since I have tried two different working disks and still get the same result.
The hard drive works perfectly well in my current computer. I also tried another hard drive which also works perfectly in my current computer. The memory is good and is recognized by the bios.
After the above failure I erased one of the drives using drive scrubber 3.0. I did this because I could not boot to reformat the drive even with the win xp
disk. Hence I then removed the dive from my current computer and reinstalled it in the new one and tried to boot it using winxp cd. However I received the exact same message as noted above.

Here is the tec info noted at the bottom of the blue screen mentioned in original email
Stop: 0X0000007B (C0XF7908524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000

Boot to the XP CD and choose the method for a repair install of XP...XP cannot be moved from one MBoard to another without problems.

I did try to boot with the win xp cd but cannot get past the loading of drivers before the blue screen comes up, as mentioned above, and then the computer tries to restart but with the same result. In fact I tried it with a blank hard drive as well as with one with xp already loaded.

if this helps at all ?
I had the exact* same errors and problems installing two identical seagate 320 gig sata 16's in a Raid 0 array.
After many issues & 2 days, including installing different controllers, "my problem" was that one of the hd's was bad. The bios one day would recognize the hd off & on and the 2nd day it would not. I finally took it out and kept the one good drive in and returned the other for replacement. Everything worked great when I took out the bad drive, best of luck to you, hang in there*

Thankyou for your responce
One drive is a 320 3.0 seagate the other 160 seagate 2.0. So I will buy a new drive. I'm not sure what a controller is. I thought it was in the motherboard and therefore not changeable.
Please advise

If you are using SATA drives, are you pressing F6 at the installation stage and installing the RAID controller (available from the mobo CD) and then configuring the RAID.

Would it be easier to change the bios to IDE as my current board is set up. and If I did not would I lose any system improvements.
I guess I am not sure of what advantage RAID 0 has over IDE
-
honestly, I'm not quite sure on the way "you" should go.... I know from what I read, raid o utilizes both drives as one, writes some stuff on the one drive and some more on the other... it's supposed to make your system run very fast in applications BUT, if one fails your doomed unless you have everything backed up.
If those drives are IDE compatible you might go that route...
this is only my 2nd build and I had a nightmare trying to work my problem, I couldn't even get it to take my F6 button to take my 3rd party controllers but 1 time and it still didn't work.
Patio << knows a ton on builds, might wait for his advice*
