Trouble with upgrading system

by passiveaggressive . Updated 17 years ago

I recently had to upgrade my PC. My hard drive went kaput. So I got a new one and decided since doing that I need a new case. So i moved the componenets over that I wanted to and tried to install Windows XP. It uploaded but my stock motherboard wouldn’t allow internet connection and I was not able to upload any of the drivers to it because windows said I was not signed in as adminstrator, but I was. So I then tried using the recovery discs I have for the PC…all went well at first then I got error message that the SW BUild is not identical to the rec. dics set up so I need to contact HP for new discs…(it used sysprep.exe) I tried overriding this but soon found that my new 500G hard drive was now only 15g. Any suggestions?
