-When I go to boot on startup I'm encounterd with a blue screen error.
Can you be more specific about the error, like are there any numbers or code present and if so, what are they?After pressing Any key, It will go to boot from the XP disk, then come up with an error telling me that my computer must restart and that if I see this screen again I should check my Bios.
I have done all that I can trying from differnt hard drives, external and internal. Still to no avail, but thanks anyway.
Before it blue screens do you see the writing where it says 'press F6 to install drivers'? I'm sure if you've got a SATA HDD your gonna need to put the drivers on first (by pressing F6 and you'll also need the correct drivers) otherwise XP won't see the HDD. Thats why your getting problems. Vista already has the drivers installed...
See you should have let me do it and you wouldn't have had to.I did some hunting around and I'm sure your using the G33 chipset. To download the drivers go here:
Download Search Results
You'll need download '2'.This'll give you a utility to place the drivers on a floppy. Make sure you look at the 'READ ME' and you should be good to go. Any problems just ask..
Jeeez...this is the 3rd time I've written this!!! Page keeps 404ing on me Grrr....
