Question Emachine Build
Alright, as some of you may know I was re-building an old Emachine for my friend's dad.

Anyway, The motherboard was fried so I got him a new motherboard, PSU, and CPU and reformatted the hard drive and installed windows fresh on 2 seperate hard drives for the reason stated below

On both of these I get the BSOD saying to check for viruses on the HDD and remove and newer hard drives if I have any.

I have tried adjusting RAM and adjusting voltages, I did get it to the point that Windows Loading Bar pops up for a split second before the BSOD

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks in advance, and if you need the exact error ID's I can get them for you.


PS EDIT: These are IDE/PATA drives not SATA so it's not a RAID issue.

I am not one to bump things but this is driving me nuts I've had the guy waiting on this for a good while, and even the slightest input helps.

Thanks in return.
