Hi,
I bought a new hard drive maybe a month ago so it’s not really old but I originally installed it on my old computer (P4). I created a dual boot and installed Vista Ultimate and Fedora 7.
Everything was working fine and then I decided I would build a new computer. My new setup is:
Motherboard = GA-P35C-DS3R
CPU = Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Video = NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB
RAM = 2 GB Patriot Extreme
Any way, I thought (always a bad idea) all I would have to do was turn it on and windows would freak out because of all the new hardware and all I would have to do is deal with a bunch of found new hardware screens. To my surprise it never booted into windows (or linux).
Windows gets to the loading screen and flashes a blue screen (too quick to read) and reboots. If I boot Linux it starts loading and then freezes after saying it can’t find a bunch of files.
I know my files are all there because I can see them if I load windows recovery CD or Fedora live cd. I ran chkdsk /f and other similar programs and found no errors. Any ideas on how to get this thing booted. Could it be the MBR? I would like to avoid reinstalling windows/linux if possible. Thanks.
