I have a problem....i will try to explain the best i can.
i recently had a computer die on me due to a power surge so i bought a new one and replaced the new hard drive with the old one so i didnt lose any of my data...it works perfectly.
my wife has a computer which has recently had a virus which has left it in a bad way..so i decided to switch her hard drive with the one i got with the new computer (preloaded with Windows XP) and transfer her documents and stuff across.
THE PROBLEM: her computer starts to load windows from the new hard drive then crashes. despite the new hard drive working perfectly (i tested it in my new machine)
is there something im overlooking...some small setting which is making me slowly lose my mind???
please can anyone help? feel free to ask if you need any more information and i will try to supply it the best i can
