    Good Day!
    i need to install a software but it won't run in VISTA, so i've decided to bought a new hard drive and install windows XP SP2, i can only boot in "SAFEMODE", but for "NORMAL" boot up,it always stop/hang...
    Note: my laptop is bundle with win VISTA Home Premium...
    Does the bios version affect the windows XP boot up?
    any help i would appreciate..
    Thank You in advance...

    Have you installed only XP on the new HDD?

    To sum up:
    1- You removed the original HDD and replaced it with the one you bought.
    2- You formatted the HDD you bought.
    3- You installed XP on the HDD you bought.
    Is this right?
