    XP HOME will now not boot up. The first problem i noticed was a pop up that warned me that my hard drive was nearly full depite having 8gb free. I then got the message again the next day. I did a virus scan, restore, scandisk etc, all the usual things. It now wont boot beyond the POST screen and just freezes. I tried another PSU,changed the motherboard, checked the RAM all to no avail.I tried the HD in another computer and it worked after several boots. I did a xp repair, and it worked on the other PC. When i put it back in mine it crashed again at the same point! Can anybody suggest an answer because i am stumped?

    Hi, i would suggest that you do a total re isntall of windows XP, just back up all you data if possible with using another computer, then wipe the HDD, sounds like the OS is totally corrupt.

    Also try to reset the Bios, i know that after installing a new motherboard your old installation of XP will not work anyway.
