Hello,

Sorry for the x post but I need help big time...

I installed a new motherboard and cpu in my system as I fried the old ones.

I did not do a clean install of Windows XP as my HP Pavilion system did not
come with any recovery cd's so I hooked my existing hard drive up to the
system and powered up.

Anyway, it powers up ok but the first time I switched it on there was a blue
error screen that flashed on for a second and then the system rebooted
itself.

Now when I power on I can get past the bios screen ok but before the windows
logo appears I get the boot menu offering safe mode , safe mode with
networking, normal mode etc. A message appears on this screen saying that
the options appear as windows xp did not shut down correctly etc etc

If I choose normal mode then a white progress bar at the bottom of the
screen appears, it gets to the end of it and sits there.....for ever. If I
choose safe mode then it shows it loading all the files from the hard drive
and it gets to a file agp440.sys and it sits there...forever. So whatever
this file is it is causing the system to hang,

Various fixes I have seen include getting into Windows and disabling the
agp440.sys service. But I cannot get into xp at all as my system did not
come with boot cd's.

I can boot to a win98 floppy ok but I cannot access drive c: as it is ntfs,
I thought maybe I could rename agp440.sys to something else.

Any ideas on how to get round this agp440.sys problem? I really don't
want to do a clean install as I have no win xp cd's. My hp pavilion system
contains it's setup files on some hidden partition on the drive.

Thanks,

td.
 
Unless you replaced your motherboard with the same HP model motherboard,
you'll have to purchase a new "Full Version" of Windows XP and perform
a repair install. Your HP Windows XP installation is looking for the old HP
motherboard and will not load drivers for a different type of motherboard.

You're right Carey, I had checked that out beforehand and HP said that I
would need to re-register XP, when I bought the PC I did not have to
register as it was registered in the factory.

Is your CPU a Prescott, Celeron D or Extreme Edition? If yes the flash the
very latest mobo BIOS.
 
I would, at this point, either break down and buy a retail version of XP, or
call HP Support and buy the Recovery desks. You are, and will be, going
nowhere fast.
