Windows XP bootup problem

[Guest Ferny]

I install a new 160 Gig EIDE Hard drive in my computer and I try to load a

new Windows XP OEM into it and erverything appear to load correctly until is

time for the computer to re-start which also does but instead to go the the

Windows XP start up logo: start uploading the bootup info again. Any Ideas

how to fix this problem. It seems like nothing was loaded to my new hard

drive.

After you start the install of XP, it does its thing and reboots. You

will see "hit any key to boot from CD" at the bottom of your monitor.

DON'T hit any key or it will start the install from scratch again.

You may have left the BIOS set to boot from CD instead of from the

internal hard drive.

After setup completed successfully, did you remove the CD before restarting?
