I added a single pci IDE expansion card to my systems and
one new (used with data/no boot) drive to my system that
was running fine previously. I got NTLDR not found and
eventually disconnected the new hardware tried to do an
emergency save with my floppy disks and now get nothiong
but the blue screen of death saying PROCESS 1
INITIALIZATION FAILED I have stripped all hardware down to
a single hard drive a single cd drive and a single floppy
and still I get the same error. I know there is no problem
with my drives and have taken my motherboard in and gotten
the thumbs up. It has to be the operating system yet it is
not even allowing me to use an activation id or otherwise
it is just shutting me down on what its calling a hardware
issue. PLease advise......
 
And if you remove the card and go back to your working configuration does
the machine boot?

Sounds like there might be a configuration issue on the machine. Maybe do
an in-place upgrade on the OS and see if you return to a bootable state.
