Installed new Mobo bundle, now XP sp2 won’t boot!!

by sanjay_singh . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

Hi,

After my computer stopped working (Power but nothing else) I decided instead of fixing it (As it was a bit dated) I would buy a new bundle (budget). I got an amd dual core bundle complete with mobo / cpu / ram.
I replaced it all, fired it up and it boots past the Bios screen. then gets to the screen where you would normally press f8. This offers the various options to start windows in safe mode etc… Which ever one I choose it starts to load (Not as far as windows screen) and then either goes back to the f8 screen or starts to load the computer from scratch?? Thing is I really need the data on the HDD so can’t format, still looking for my xp discs to repair.

Any thoughts guys? …thanks a bunch.

Sanj
