Windows XP won't install
I'm trying to do a clean install of XP.
The initial boot of the CD and partition goes fine, then when the system gets to the first re-boot it just goes back to the start and begins the process over again.
It's done it many times now, I have tried a couple of boot disks and fdisked and formatted several times.
It's still doing it and I have no idea what the problem is.
I'm about to flash the BIOS. Or put the HD into another machine to format it.
The system was working fine previously (until the video card broke down which started all the problems).
The only difference is that I have replaced the CPU which is an identical model to the previous.
Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-7N400-L
Processor is AMD Athlon XP3000+
btw I have tried to access the system recovery program (by hitting F9 on startup) but it doesn't work.
I can get into BIOS and Qflash.
Any suggestions gratefully received, many thanks.
