Again, hello

My new system is still giving me problems I'm progressing THOUGH

I installed a HDD that was being used in my bro's old computer, it worked perfectly in his, and I just did the transfer about a week ago. Upon boot up, It will give me choices of whether I want to boot in Safe Mode, Normaly, and yahda yahda yahda. Nothing will work! When I choose an option the bootup will just go in a big loop and bring me back to the same options. So I tried a Very old HDD that was laying around with Windows ME on it, it got PAST the initial boot up.

I've tried booting it up on the Win XP CD but to no Avail, after the CD is done CHECKING my system settings, and I get to choose "repair windows" and so on, my machine will randomly SHUT down.

I'm out of ideas.

Thanks,
Mike

Ok, weird, I just put in a SATA drive with Win XP and everything works great.Lets start here:
What antivirus protection did you have installed prior to this incident?

Is your data backed up? (If it is, the easiest solution would simply be to completely reinstall Windows XP)

What it could be:
Virus
Hardware issue
Incompatibility
