Dear all
I have recently built a new system and have come to the stage of installing the operating system onto it.
I have encountered numerous problems installing xp (for budget reasons) onto the sata hardrive and a 80gb drive (also sata) from an old Dell has not been able to boot normally without a Bsod.
I have then asked a friend to load up a version of win7 onto the original hardrive and this has gone well until the point where it asks to boot normally, where it just stops at the windows is starting point.
Am i missing something large or is there a problem with some of my hardware, and if so are there any solutions?
Thanks in advance
P.s. If it helps the build is an
Amd PhenomII 955
Msi 790fxGd70
crucial Ballistix 1333
Ati radeon 4870 512
maxtor 320gb standard hard drive
the version of xp is 32 bit and the win7 was 64 according to friend
