You need to reinstall XP so you have drivers for the new
mobo and components.

| Changed MOBO from PC Chips M841LU to an ASUS A7V8X-X. PC
| Chips board had onboard video, ASUS not. Added ATI Radeon
| 9200 SE video card, AGP 128 Mb 8X.
| Used same components otherwise, now system will not load
| Windows XP Home or let me run cd's for drivers for new
| items.
| BIOS does recognize everything- CD/RW, Hard Drive,Memory
| etc.
| Using same MOBO and components in second PC, started w/
| clean hard drive though, have no problems.
| Jumpers are in same place, BIOS settings are same.
| Will get past BIOS load then flash screen that states
| Invalid Boot INI.FILE, booting from C:/Windows file, then
| goes to a screen that states Windows did not load
| properly, shows to select start in safe mode, safe
| network, safe with command prompt, last known good
| congfiguration or start Windows normally. If I choose to
| start normally PC will immediantly re-boot, if I choose
| any of the others I get a screen of
| MULTI/DISK/RDISK/PARTIONS/1\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
| \DRIVERS\SYSINDEX.sis (/= 0 ZERO)
|
| I'm stumped.
