Mother board is ak77 pro 133 vt8233 will not run xp proI

1.) Ensure XP is updated with latest device drivers
2.) Ensure latest chipset & motherboard drivers are installed
3.) Check USB drive, and USB port
4.) Boot up with any Linux OS Boot up disk and check if USB is working
5.) Install Windows 7 in case new drivers not available on XP

You can find manuals and drivers at the Asus site >> www.asus.com But in the position you are now and your computer wont start try do this
Start it at safe mode pressing and holding the F8 key while booting. Use your original Windows XP pro CD to repair/restore your windows installation
Just follow the onscreen instructions.
If that wont work you may need a technician to remove your had disk, take copies of any usefull data you may have on it, reformat your hard disk and make a new windows installation.
Try to upgrade to windows Vista.

Hi,
You need to set it up for dual boot. There are loads of tutorials, but here's one;

If I've helped, please rate me!!

Did you previously have XP on it ? The 2 OS are not compatible with each other and you may have to install XP fresh. Save your docs by reverting back to Vista first and setting up a partition or a dual boot situation.

If where is blue screen while you install your operating system, it may be a hardware failure.

have you tried updateing the bios ?

If you have a valid Win XP Pro CD and want to install the operating system you'll need to format your hard disk drive. If you have allot of data on you're hard disk drive, (In Win 2000) Suggest you create a second partition within the free space of you're hdd and install windows XP Pro. Boot you're system with the XP CD. Pay close attention to the display screens. Follow the instructions for creating a second partition.
Format the new partition. (Quick). Install windows XP on the new partition. Once completed you can copy your personal data to win XP.
If you choose to keep the win 2000 partition and you do not wish to have a dual boot system than remove/delete the root files from the 2000 partition. These files; Autoexec.bat and Boot.ini. You're new XP Boot.ini should read like this;
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
Once you're satisfied an no longer need win 2000 use windows diskmgmt.msc from the run command to delete the win 2000 partition.
Win 2000 uses a FAT16 where Win XP uses the FAT NTFS.

Cheers!

your operating system disk has a scratch or dirty, messed up data and has not installed the file
reinstasll

new hardware that fails will cause blue screen

possibly the on board speaker is disabled in the BIOS ?-

1. Unplug the SATA drive and see if you get a desktop then.
2. If so, then go to hardware/device and look for PCI sata card.
3. If it is listed, check the details, copy down and post here.
4. If it is not listed, see if it is listed under computer management/hardware/devices or in the "problem device" or "conflicts" tabs. Post any mention here.
5. While I wait for your reply/you wait for me to catch it, you should also try switching the card to another PCI slot. Sometimes, with new technology added to older boards, the slot ID is important.
