Are you booting from the XP CD? Are you doing a repair install like this:

Yes to both questions.
I do not know if this is due to a problem with the windows previously installed (it is in a HD that I had in a pentium 4 and now it is in an AMD Athlon) causing problems, a hardware failure (I tested and it seems ok), a video driver or what. Last edited by pilo; March 17th, 2014 at 05:30 PM. |

If you try to do a repair install of a hard drive in a different system it will likely fail since the repair only replaces the system files and leaves the drivers intact. Wrong drivers for the new system would create conflicts. It is possible to go into safe mode and remove all the older drivers from the drive and then reinstall for the new motherboard and graphics but its very time consuming and complicated (you need to know what to uninstall) and there is no guarantee it will work. Why Fat32, NTFS is a much more efficient file system. Hurry and get your critical updates and then create a backup image afterwords since XP is going bye-bye. I forgot to mention you can convert Fat32 to NTFS from within windows in the command window. I forget the command but it's all over the web.
