Receptionist has old eMachine (Celeron) that would not boot (only fans would come on). This is what I have done so far:
1. Took components (HD, ram & modem) and put in another machine (P3). Same problem.
2. Took out ram (used another stick) - same problem.
3. Took out modem - booted to XP screen with users listed.
4. Put HD & ram in eMachine - boots to XP home (black screen with little squares that move while loading "stuff". Then screen goes black and monitor light goes from green to amber (I assume that it loses its connection).
What happens in XP hen you move from one machine to another? Is it supposed to boot and then tell you that you cannot use the installation on another machine, or what?
I do not know if the problem still exists in the eMachine, if the problem is with XP (changing machines), or what.
If I have to use the other PC(P3) and put in the eMachine HD, can I use repair, reinstall, or do I have to do a new installation?
Thanks, in advance, for you help.
