IF the FIRST step did not work then,

Contact the IBM Support hotline for assistance on Hardware configuration of the system at 800-426-7378

I BELIEVE THAT WD PROVIDES A CD WITH "WD DATA LIFEGUARD UTILITIES." IF YOU USE THAT DISK AND SELECT "DRIVE TO DRIVE COPY" SELECTION. THIS SHOULD CREATE A CLONE OF YOUR ORIGIONAL DISK. SELECT THE NEW DRIVE TO BOOT FROM EITHER IN BIOS SETTINGS OR FROM THE BOOT SELECT "F12" OPTION.
THE PC SHOULD BOOT FROM THE NEW DRIVE IF SELECTED

This usually happens when u fit any hardware to the system....The information which u gave seems its "Blue Screen of Death" or "BSOD" ........ if u have seen this screen only after u plugged in yr HDD, try with other HDD. Perhaps there might be an error with the HDD which u have plugged in.

Hi,
This could be a hard drive problem. The hard drive is looking for the boot sector on it, but the boot sector is broken. Computer shuts down and tries again but your hard drive can't find the boot sector so it shuts down tries again etc.

Hi

Need to know how far it boots, eg past cmos screen, ??Win screen

Also some laptops will only accept hard drives up to certain sizes. Check in the Bios as to whether that size drive is actually supported.

Instructions

1. Step 1 Back up all of the important data on the machine, especially the files in the “My Documents” and “Shared Documents” folders.
   
2. Step 2 Locate the original installation discs for all of the software that is installed on the machine.
   
3. Step 3 Download all of the latest drivers for the computer's hardware from the site of the computer manufacturer or the hardware manufacturer.
   
4. Step 4 Insert the Windows installation disk into the CD-ROM drive and reboot the computer. Press a key to boot from CD when prompted by the installation disc. If the computer continues to boot from the hard drive, follow the instructions in the computer's documentation to set the BIOS to boot from CD first.
   
5. Step 5 Press the “Enter” key at the installation options screen. When the software licensee is displayed, press “F8” to agree to it. The installation will scan the computer’s hard disk for some basic information.
   
6. Step 6 Press the “Esc” button if the software offers to repair the previous Windows XP installation. A list of the hard drive partitions on the system will be displayed.
   
7. Step 7 Select the partition containing the Windows installation. In most cases, it will be the only partition listed, and on others, it will be the largest partition listed. Press the “D” key to delete the partition, and press "L" and "Enter" to confirm the choice.
   
8. Step 8 Create a new partition in the freed space by pressing the “C” key and press “Enter” to make the partition the maximum allowable size.
   
9. Step 9 Select the newly created partition, and press “Enter” to install Windows XP on it. Format the drive to the “NTFS” file system, and follow the prompts to continue the installation. Do not select the “Quick” option, because it may leave certain structures of the old file system intact.
   
10. Step 10 When the new copy of Windows XP boots, it will ask some configuration questions, and then it will begin looking for hardware. Install all of the drivers for the hardware on the system, and reboot the machine as required. Then, install all of the software that will be needed on the computer, and copy all personal files into the new installation.
    
11. Step 11 Ensure that anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, and a firewall are installed and configured correctly. These programs will help to protect the new Windows XP installation and keep it performing well.
    

The fact that the CD ROM works at all means them MOBO is ok..just replace the CD ROM as they are not that expensive any longer and save yourself some headaches..good luck. Let me know if you have have questions.

Hi!

Easy problem to solve my freind:)
Do like this, start the installation as you did before, when your pc restarts, get in to bios again and change the first boot from cd/dvd to the HDD. That will solve your instalation problem:)
