Heres whats going on...
My mom had been installing something she downloaded, and it turns out it was infected by something, so naturally we were running a virus scan to get it fixed, and when finished it asked us to restart. Well, during the restart, when booting windows with the xp logo and stuff, it restarts. It was doing this constantly every time I tried booting it. Now I figured that a repair of the windows install would work, from the windows cd...nope. It works fine until it gets to the "setup is restarting........" part, then it restarts.
So I hooked the drive into my computer and installed windows on the hdd on mine, and it worked fine. Moved it to hers, and it doesn't. Still restarts.
Really frustrating, any ideas? I'm thinking its the ram, not sure though.
Edit:
Oh yeah, it didn't work on the original hdd, so we went down and bought a second drive...and it doesn't work either.
I re-installed windows on the new drive, not the old one.
