I have just built a system with a P5KPL mobo and E7400 CPU. I moved the hard drive from my HP system but it will not load WINDOWS XP that is on the hard drive. The recovery disk will not work either.
I get the following error when trying to load Windows in SAFE mode
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\hal.dll
etc for about 30 more files
would the hard drive be linked somehow to the HP motherboard with some type of code and will not boot in a non-HP system?
It is a SATA drive and the boot priorities are setup correctly in the BIOS
can anyone help without having to format / install a new hard drive?
