I've made a new shuttle and had two problems before (see my other threads) with installing the OS iI've now managed to install it via another comp and put the hard disk in and now itwill boot up to windows load screen not load and then go to a blue screen saying:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
Check your hard for viruses. Remove any new hard drives and controllers. Check hard drive to see if it's properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check hard drive corruption and then restart.

Technical Information:
Loads of code!!!

It wouldn't have any viruses it hasn't been able to get an. If I remove this hard drive there isn't any others and I don't know about controllers. I don't know how to see if it's properly configured . How would I run that in BIOS because I can't get into Windows.

Please help I'm so desperate and gutted one problem after another keeps happening and I really want this comp to work.
 
Why on earth would you install it on another machine and move the drive? that makes no sense? Why did you think that was the best way to do it?
 
Just read through your other post, you wont be able to install it like that, your best bet is to try and resolve your original problem with not being able to boot from the CD.

Works with vista, had an intel laptop with a copy of vista on it, switched hard-drives with an amd laptop and it only needed a quick reboot to change the drivers.

Xp it fails miserably though.
 
I was also under the impression a windows install from one mobo wouldnt work if the same hard drive was plugged into another. But after giving it a go to see what happens found it does work, or did on this occasion. After few minor driver installations worked like it was the same motherboard. It also re registered as being genuin which i was also sceptical about.
Was OEM 32bit home premium and went from Asus P5N-T Deluxe to MSI Neo3-FR.
 
Ok, while it is possible, its not the best way to install an OS as its going to load all the drivers for the original hardware and then all again for the new hardware, its gonna be one crowded registry.
 
Anyway, back with the fixing attempts :)

You thought about dumping the OS install files onto a USB drive and see if you can boot from that & try installing it that way around instead of off the CD? If this works then you could even just do a repair install from the USB drive.

Are you not able to get the CD to boot at all - even when you set the boot order? (sorry not read your other posts/threads).
 
Thanks but it's all sorted now. I managed to get into Windows setup by unplugging the HDD then pressing ESC in startup then plugging it back in again once the installation started.
