You need to repair your winxp installation, but apparently you dont have a
winxp home cd

'Hi everyone,

Boot problem, new motherboard and psu, now it gets are as loading drivers
in Safe Mode mup.sys then restarts.

Windows XP Home.
Replaced the motherboard with a very similar motherboard but from a
different manufacturer, it has the same main chipset on it. Also, using
the same cpu/ram/hdd/cd so no other hardware change except for the
motherboard and psu.

Problem:
Select normal boot and system will get as far as blackscreen where it
*should* load the XP loading screen but it doesn't get that far, instead
if restarts.

Safe Mode - F8 - Gets as far as loading the drivers, about 25 are being
loaded, and then it always stops on MUP.SYS. Everytime. Not sure if it's
MUP.SYS that has problem, or the thing after it.

I don't have a win xp home cd, just an xp pro cd. A bit stuck here.

I did try loading up XP Pro temporarily on a seperate folder so that I
could get to the hard drive using Explorer and see if any files were
corrupt, or try to do some maintenance from inside XP Pro, but I'm a bit
stuck now.

I also tried to do some repair using the XP Pro cd before I installed XP
Pro, but that didn't seem to help.

Please can you help?
