Hi
I have some problems with my xp and wonder if I need to reinstall?
I run xp home edition ( OEM) and recently am encountering some problems
I recently installed the hard drive from my old machine into my new one with
some help from people here and it installed perfectly but since then I have
noticed some problems when i start up
I get the boot screen up with the same options i used to
xp
recovery console
Tuneup utilities (added after I installed tune up utilities 2007)
and the clock starts to tick away as normal. However I cant choose which
option anymore (keyboard has no effect ) and f8 doesnt work either . So
system waits til clock has ticked down then screen goes blank then a large
white progress bar appears at the bottom then screen goes clank for 30
seconds .
It then boots ok but clearly something isnt right
Any ideas?
Also my system restore no longer works?
Thanks in advance
Craig
