Gerry, thanks for all your help, from what you wrote here and to
another who was having trouble, I used another hard drive set it up
and got 1 of those boxes for 30 dollars to put old hard drive in with
usb connection and pulled all important info off, and for sure now
will keep it backed up. Happy Holidays and again your help was very
much appreciated, thanks for taking the time!!!

Please post a copy of the Stop Error Report.

What is your Windows XP CD as it is described on the face of the CD?

What is your computer make and model?

used f8 and stopped the restarting, now got blue page : check for
viruses, remove newly installed harddrives and controllers,check
hard drive to see if its properly configured and terminated, run
chkdsk/f to check for corruption then restart.
It will not let me do anything at all, tried all options in f8 and
it will just start to keep trying to start over and over,

You should start a new thread rather than hijack an existing one.

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot.
No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also
appear in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the
meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and
Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which
you should double click for further information. You can copy
using copy and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is
no further information.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes
only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and
close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste
into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click
on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

I have been having a problem where every few startups are very
slow and the startup icons don't show in taskbar. I have checked
the task manager and the processes do start. After going crazy
rebooting numerous times i found a small application called
Start right that lets you manage startup programs and now all
items start properly. My question is are these programs safe?
