I just purchased a number of new components to upgrade my system (New chassis, motherboard, processor, ram). I intend to keep my old hard drive (along with CD and DVD devices) and use it with these new components. However I am having major difficulty getting them to work.
After initially booting and configuring the BIOS, I have tried to do the WinXP Repair Install (as listed elsewhere in these forums), but when the system is about half way done "Installing Drivers," the machine inexplicably reboots. After this, it automatically goes back to the installation following a screen reading "Setup is restarting......" and begins the setup again. It seems to be stuck in this loop and will not progress any further. What is going on??
Help!!
