    Yesterday i got all new parts to build a new pc. i have:

    athlon 64 3200+ 120GB SATA2 Western Digital HD, MSI Geforce 6600 GT LG DVDRW Asus NFORCE 4 Ultra Mobo.

    I loaded windows from a Disk that came with my Laptop. Its not exactly a copy of XP, its called a "cicero recovery disk". Cicero is the brand for futureshop, the canadian arm of bestbuy. The install went fine. Booted up fine. Updated fine, installed drivers for mobo etc. I installed windows update and then SP2 and i went to bed. Woke up and let sp2 install, got home and restarted PC. Half way through XP load i get a BSOD and it crashes. The error code was 0x0000007e. I booted into safe mode and had no luck taking drivers out, so i used that disc and wiped my HD and reinstalled. For some reason at 64% the computer will restart and i get an error about "could not load needed DLLs for kernel" using my disc again does nothing, i cleaned my disc and nothing. I formatted using NTFC the 2nd time, the 1st time it gave me no option. I have no idea what to do from here. I want to try formatting EVERYTHING on the disc without using the recovery CD as for some reason formatting takes like 4 seconds (i doubt its even formatting). If anyone wants to help me out on msn my address is forgiven@3web.net I appriciate ANY help at all! thanks!
    PS: i added new BIOS drivers. Anyway i can roll back...? The ASUS website said you need the latest Nforce 4 drivers, but a friend told me to do it anyway.

    My guess would be the disc had a scratch. Ive had similar problems and it was the disc. Maybe there is a scratch or somthing.

    If I understand your post correctly, you are trying to install XP on a new system using a recovery CD?

    If that's the case, you cannot do that, unless the new system has the exact same hardware as the system that used the recovery CD.

    Different hardware requires different drivers, and your recovery CD won't have them, hence the BSOD.
