As mentioned above, this is a new system but with an older older IDE hard drive with windows xp service pack 2 ( I believe). Upon the first boot it says that windows did not shut down correctly and asks me to choose whether to start it normally or in safe mode or with last known working configuration. When I choose to start windows normally, it will load to a certain point. The Windows Xp screen will come up with the moving bar. It will then restart. When I choose to start it up in safe mode, a bunch of system 32 files will scroll up on the screen. I can't remember if that is normal or not. It will load in safe mode though. I went into the event viewer and got the following errors.Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: Service Control ManagerEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 7026Date: 1/21/2011Time: 1:18:54 AMUser: N/AComputer: CLEAR-BOXDescription:The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:AFDAvgldx86Avgmfx86AvgtdixFipsIPSecMRxSmbNetBIOSNetBTProcessorRasAcdRdbssTcpip For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

That hard drive and windows was working in another computer right before it was switched over. Let me know if you need any other information.Thanks. 1 person needs an answerI do too

First of all you are probably missing a number of device drivers, especially the network card driver and the motherboard driver. Use your XP disk to run a repair install. This should go a long way towards getting you going. If your new box has a driver disk that should help a lot. You can't port XP seamlessly the way you have done. It usually requires a repair install to correct the hardware abstraction layer.Colin Barnhorst
