    on my HP Pavilion 750n windows starts to load xp but then it restarts and this just repeats itself in a continuous loop.

    I have a second hard drive that i installed xp on to boot up the pc, and i was able to scan the primary hard drive for a virus but it didn't find any on it.

    Does anybody have any ideas on how i can get it to load windows from the primary hard drive?

    Is there any history to the hard drive or operating system? Changed computers, motherboards, reinstalled XP, just updated something, installed new hardware, etc, etc?

    How far does it boot? At what point does it restart?

    It sounds to me as though you have a fatal rookie mistake on your system ... you have the Automatically Restart checkbox ticked in your system preferences for when you get a dreaded STOP (Blue Screen) error ... this article HERE should help
