Blue screen error again

I have a computer with windows xp that showed a unmountable boot volume. I changed the harddrive and installed windows. It will not boot up now and I get another blue screen saying that there is a harddrive error or a harddrive controller error. I have tried to go to the recovery console, but before it comes all the way up, it gives me the blue screen. It will not boot into safe mode, gives me the blue screen. Any suggestions on what I might try now?

I reformated the new harddrive and installed the system recovery cds. It would not boot up, it restarted. When it did I tried to boot into safe mode. It gave me an error that said the system is not fully installed. Please run setup again. If I try to boot to the recovery console, it goes through the setup is loading files section, and then when it says that setup is loading Windows it gives me this BSOD:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run chkdsk /f to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

I don't know how I can troubleshoot anything if I can't get into the recovery console or I can't get into safe mode.

What PC is it? Dell, HP or something else?

 

The computer is a HP Pavilion a1640n. I have read thru the links, and thank you very much for posting them, but I don't understand how I can do any of that because I can not go anywhere, no recovery console, no safe mode. I can get into the bios. :cry

 

How old is the PC? HP's or the vendor's phone support could be worth a try?

 

I was about to pull out my hair over this deal. After reading all of your links, I decided to disconnect everything from the computer except the harddrive (cd, modem, extra video card, card reader, etc). Computer booted up normally after that. I had installed a video card on this computer and forgot to disable the integrated video. This was what was causing ALL of the problems. I had run into this before and it wasn't until I got to reading your posts that I remembered it . THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your insight was greatly appreciated.
