my windows wont load after installing new hard drive?

[carpakacarp]

so i had a virus on my old hard drive and bought a new one. i installed windows xp on it and whenever windows begins to load, a "fatal error" occurs and it wont load. it says i should scan for a virus or check the hard drive. what can i do?

Did you use any backup disks, to install other software. It may have had a virus attached to them.

could be a ram issue. could also be bad install or a bad hdd.
