I installed WINXP Pro SP1 on my computer with the
hard drives on IDE2. After installation, I moved my
hard drives to IDE3 and IDE4. Everything works fine for
awhile, but when Musicmatch Jukebox froze my computer I
tried to restart it but won't. So I turned it off with the
power button. But when I turned it on again WINXP won't
load anymore. It will get up to the WINXP Logo and then
reboot again and again. Thanks for any help.
 
Hi,

Did you check in Setup (BIOS) to make sure that the boot
order is corresponding with the location of your HD?
