Hi, my saga continues!!!
I found out what the issue was with my cdrw/dvd (jumpers in the wrong location, only took me 10 days and a new cdrw/dvd to work that one out) so managed to use the OEM disk with the initial computer set up.
All going well computer booting into XP Home, nice.
So next, I went back to my upgrade which was the start of all the problems initially...
I put the new mobo (MCP6P M2+) and processor (AMD Athlon 64 2.7 Ghz) back in, with the same configuration that was just working.
Joy and behold it read the recovery disk and ran, yipee.
It reformatted the HDD as before (as XP does), yipee.
Next it went through post no prob, yipee.
Then blue screen of death!!! Agghhh...
This is the error that it gave me
0x00000007b (0xF7AFA640,0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
My thinking there is a software issue between the mobo and the HDD or that the HDD is knackered (although it works fine with the old mobo and cpu).
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try next? I have a new sata HDD on order but I only have the time recovery/reload disk not an original version of xp to use. (just had to order a new SATA power cable adapter as I didn't realise they were diff to he old ones!!! I am learning soooooooo much).
I can't actually get in to XP to run chkdisk or similar.
Cheers
