I tried to install a used 20gb working hard drive with xp os already installed. to a dell optiplex gx60 Dell. The computer recg. hard drive, but xp wont boot, keeps coming up with message to try and restart in safe mode options, or restart windows normally, or restart to last known functional settings.
Hi I'm Rain.
The problem is that you have to diffrent system models. When Windows is booting up for the first time it loads the neccesary Drivers for the system model. You will have to obtain the Windows disk and do a system repair or a full Clean install .
This will load all the drivers for your system model.
You can try rebooting and hitting F8 to get to advanced settings.in Advanced settings select Last known good configuration.
If this fail . The configuration is wrong and Windows won't boot.
I think that you have to reinstall the XP os on the hard drive again.
