Problem.. swaped pc's internals..

by lostHDD Oct 26, 2013 6:19AM PDT

I got a PC better then mine, i7 insted of my phenom x4 955.. but i had Antec tower case, so i decided to swap internals, i7 internals moved to antec case... so i did that but kept HDD drives as they where... My old hdd inside new i7 (internals) and old hdd left for 4x 955..
I swaped internals and after that wanted to finish up by removing all drivers from newly asembled PC, but then started to accur problems, when i tried to reinstall windows, im getting all kinds of STOP errors... 0x000004a and such, and such... ( Had Antec with 4x 955 and moved that out to older case and i7 moved to antec )

any ideas what i could do ?

(sorry for my english)

Are you trying to install Windows from? Is it an OEM disc?

a new OS ofc... there is a problem, i cant install it, and if i have installed it throws out 0x0000000a, 0x80fe0000 and other STOP codes...
Codes reffer that i have installed something wrong, but i'v connected everything as it was, well exept if there is some difference where i put sata cables 1-6 slots.. M4A88T-M/USB3
Sadly its not OEM, planing to get one but thats after Uni...

If you install a retail version of Windows 7 on a hard disk, and you choose to do a clean install (which includes formatting the partiton you install Windows on) and there is no hardware issue, there should be no problem.

So my guess is that it's one of the following three issues:
1. It's not a retail version of Windows
2. You didn't format the hard disk as part of the install
3. There are some hardware issues

It's up to you to find out which of the three applies and correct it.
