xp will not boot after new MB install
« on: March 04, 2008, 05:45:58 AM »
Hi,

Recently I have installed a new motherboard, processor and ram. I have tried to reinstall XP from the CD rom which works, but on reboot to finish instilation the hard drive does not boot what so ever.

I transferd my hard drive to my old computer and it boots just fine, does anyone know what could be the issue?

thanks ahead of time

    Check that the BIOS is set to try and boot from the hard drive.
