I upgraded my old desktop PC with a new motherboard, CPU and memory. Plugged in the old IDE HD and CD_ROM. Computer did not start. I tried booting from the Windows XP Pro CD. Windows setup ran through the initial checking computer configuration, loading drivers, then hung at “Setup is starting Windows”. I replaced the HD, the CD-ROM, even the power supply, nothing worked. Windows setup always hung at “Setup is starting Windows” (and various places before that).
Any help to get my PC up and running will be very appreciated, including reformat HD and reinstall XP. thanks.
