issues after factory reset

[shiftyape]

after i factory reset my windows vista (it was done on a different computer because the old one was shot and i wanted to renew the system for the new computer) after i reset it, it said the usual stuff, like, configuring windows, you know. but then right before it is about to load the desktop, it says there was an error, and i couldnt boot up vista.

Very confusing. Are you saying that you're trying to run Vista that was supplied with one computer on a different computer?

In other words, you've moved the hard drive over to a different computer?

I'm just trying to make sense of what you've posted, some clarification would be appreciated.

Yes, same hard drive, new computer. Sorry bout that.

When you move a hard drive over to a different computer, you have to reformat it and re-install Windows on it from scratch using a Microsoft Windows installation CD/DVD.

The existing Windows that's on it will never boot properly on different motherboard hardware.
