Hello,

Sorry for the x post but I need help big time...

I installed a new motherboard and cpu in my system as I fried the old ones.

I did not do a clean install of Windows XP as my HP Pavilion system did not
come with any recovery cd's so I hooked my existing hard drive up to the
system and powered up.

Anyway, it powers up ok but the first time I switched it on there was a blue
error screen that flashed on for a second and then the system rebooted
itself.

Now when I power on I can get past the bios screen ok but before the windows
logo appears I get the boot menu offering safe mode , safe mode with
networking, normal mode etc. A message appears on this screen saying that
the options appear as windows xp did not shut down correctly etc etc

If I choose normal mode then a white progress bar at the bottom of the
screen appears, it gets to the end of it and sits there.....for ever. If I
choose safe mode then it shows it loading all the files from the hard drive
and it gets to a file agp440.sys and it sits there...forever. So whatever
this file is it is causing the system to hang,

Various fixes I have seen include getting into Windows and disabling the
agp440.sys service. But I cannot get into xp at all as my system did not
come with boot cd's.

I can boot to a win98 floppy ok but I cannot access drive c: as it is ntfs,
I thought maybe I could rename agp440.sys to something else.

Any ideas on how to get round this agp440.sys problem? I really don't
want to do a clean install as I have no win xp cd's. My hp pavilion system
contains it's setup files on some hidden partition on the drive.
But I can print.

Thanks,

td.

Way to go genuis. Spam a Microsoft server. I wish I would have thought
of that one. You have way too much free time, but I really hope the
community service you'll have to do will take care of that problem,
cause I don't think MS can sue a juvanile.

Was that supposed to be intended as funny, serious or helpful?

Think about it if you can, brainstall; Do you really think yourself
any better than the bot that posted that. Watch your
delusional 20-20 hindsight now, won't you.

Oh, you were trying to make a point. What was it again?

Go on, have another go, let's see if you can spin a little
faster. Nathan McNulty <snigger> Oh, the possibilities.

Oh, just one other thing dimbulb, did you mean 'pie',
'genoise' or 'genuis' and 'javelin' or 'juvenile'? Next time,
I'll just stop you at your first logical error.

Ya... you're right.

The OP is SOOO much smarter than us, posting to a whole shwack of groups all
at once, many times over.

Definately doesn't need our help. Hope my post cancellation works on my
original reply!
