The problem is that when I say to start windows normally the boot screen comes up and the pc restarts and if I try to repair Windows MCE2005 it gets so far and I get a blue screen with errors on it! This happens alot with different parts of the disc. :mad:

Please help!

P.S Sorry if this is posted to the wrong place
 
did you reformat before you installed all the new hardware and tried running windows? if not, I'm surprised you even got that far into windows, it sounds like you need to reformat regardless though now
 
Ok.....Didn't get an e-mail of this reply! No I hadn't reformated before installation. The windows install crashes with blue screen some times so I think i'll do a win 98 boot diskette then run fdisk to format.
