I had a cpu failure and replaced the both MB and CPU, with newer items. I
had no opportunity to load the new MB and its appurtenant drivers.
After assembling the MB, CPU and attaching the hard drive, I booted up and
was taken to the page with the option of safe mode, last successful load, and
t
he other two options. Even with safe mode, the computer simply rebooted.
I attempting to repair the OS program following the procedure outlined on
http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxppro/installxpcdrepair/indexfullpage.htm
the computer has an endless loop of rebooting at the conclusion of part 3 and
before part 4 (when it is copys files and does a reboot on its own). The
loop of restarting and beginning to load Windows XP likely will continue
indefinately although I intercede after 5 reboots.
When I intercede and start the process all over again, I get the error
message the "Setup has already attempted to upgrade the following Windows
c:\\Windows Microsoft Windows XP Pro
It continues with "setup will try again".
Will a completely new XP instal interfere with running the new, and if so,
how do I delete the corrupted, unrepairable one?
Do I have any choice but to do a new install? My XP is an retail upgrade
version. Wouldn't I likely have the same problem if I tried loading a Vista
upgrade?
