Yes,
I was almost 100% sure that the cause is the drivers, but I tought that the system will recognize the differences, and use the newly installed drivers, and thanks for telling me that it's dumb, since if the boss is saying "move the data as it is" to the new pc, I'm supposed to move it. Comments like 'dumb' may be used for someone with great experience at certain field who is performing dumb actions, not for newbie in certain field trying to workaround certain, new to him problems. Actually I managed to work around the situation and everything is great now, thanks to anyone trying to help with advice,
Thank you,
D.

No. Windows is not designed for that, you will need to start in safe mode, and then remove/reinstall the drivers.

Moving the data would be achieved by doing what I said.

Well, if doing something is dumb, would you prefer no-one tell you ?

As Christian Said, your new computer is getting confused by drivers that don't apply to your actual hardware (especially things like motherboard chipset drivers)
You might get away with booting from your Windows CD and re-installing over the top of your existing installation - this *should* copy over the correct new drivers and get everything working again (but it might just break things worse!)
Make sure you've got good backups of your "sensitive data" before you go any further!

I also agree with above comment. The reason that your computer could not start because the driver of your old hard disk is not match the new hardware especially the mainboard. This action meaning the save that you install the wrong driver for your mainboard also. My comment is keep your old hard disk as your data drive and install an operating system on another new hard disk drive.

My suggest is to connect your HDD in ur PC as new hardwaer but be sure HDD have do be different with CD-ROM (master os slave) and apply changes in BIOS by detecting ur new HDD and set to boot from CD-ROM ... then install ur new OS... this will be done succsessfully..
I hope this helps you.....

if you'r using winxp try this:
boot your pc with winxp cd
few options:
To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER.
To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
choose Recovery Console (press R)
now you have something like this ...
1. C:\WINDOWS
Wich Windows installation would you like to log onto
(To cancel, press ENTER)?
type 1 and press enter
Type the Administrator password: (type yor pass - if blank hit enter)
type help (use this commands first: bootcfg, fixmbr, fixboot)
if you don't understand something mail me  ))

Who can provide an address to download Win98(English version)?

Lots of us probably could but noone will. This is not a Warez board.

I already search the internet and don't found any result. On the otherhand, windows 98 is not a free OS like linux. You should purchase a copy of it from Microsoft.

Hi:
I have a very unique problem opening TEXT files in Notepad. When I doubleclick a TextFile (configured for Notepad, as is the default case), it opens a blank new Notepad window (Untitled), as if you have typed Notepad.exe. Each time, I have to rightclick Open With and choose Notepad.
I think some program application has damaged the association for .TXT file with notepad.exe and some %1 etc arguments are required. Is'nt it?
I am not sure of what arguments and where to apply?
Can you please throw some light on that?

You can do thus:
Open any folder.
Click Tools menu and choose "folder option"
In the dialog of "Folder Option" you chose "File Types" tab
In this you will see "Extensions" Coloumn, Find there "TXT"
Choose it and click "Advanced" Command Button
In next dialog you will get different operations associated with File Type TXT
Choose open and Press tab Edit.
Here you see two text boxes, first telling operation name ("open" here) and other telling application name with command for it.
You should enter here (in Application TextBox) like this:
C:\WINNT\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
change drive ( C: ) and window folder (WINNT) name accordingly your system and you will get what you want.
Ok.

Yes, is it means to load up the default BIOS setup?

The bios is the set of programs that run immediately on startup. It initializes access to your disk drives, assigns irqs to devices, sets the system clock, defaults for numluck, etc. On some mobos (generally targeted at DIY system builders and performance junkies, but not OEM systems) it will also provide options to adjust memory timing, clock speeds, and voltage levels to the cpu and memory. After doing this it calls the bootloader to start your operating system.
It's stored in a flashmemory type chip and comes with your machine. The manufacturer may provide updates on thier website but unless you're a performance junky, need to add support for a new hardware feature (>130Gig harddrives was a recent one), or it somehow gets corrupted you shouldn't mess with it because it it gets corrupted badly you might be unable to reboot or repair your system without getting a new chip from the manufacturer.
