My HDD in my old (from 2002) desktop went bad, so I took it out (so there is now boot failure system halted windows xp no internal HDD) and am trying to install Windows XP on a USB HDD and use that. I connected the USB HDD and inserted the XP reinstallation CD. When I powered on the PC, I

got this screen (sorry for it being a bit blurry, but you can still make out all the text). Pushing F1 took me to a page titled "BIOS SETUP UTILITY." I powered off and back on, and got this similar screen where the number representing how much RAM I had slowly increased until it reached the correct 512 MB. Once it hit 512, it went on to a screen where system halted windows 7 it said "Boot failure: System halted" (the rest of the screen was blank). I can't progress past that, and I can't seem to get back to the original screen where I could press a key to go to setup. What could the problem be? It started happening as soon as I connected the USB HDD (which is 9 years newer than the computer), so perhaps my BIOS needs to be updated. I don't know how to do that though, and I get the same problem when booting with the USB HDD disconnected. Could it have anything to do with the message on the original screen about the CMOS battery being low? Thanks! EDIT: At some point while the USB HDD was connected, I got this screen. I can't seem to get it to reappear either. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top Xhi Posts: 6298 This post has been reported. The first thing to do would be to replace the CMOS battery with a nice fresh one. They are cheap and available at any store where watch batteries are sold. Second a BIOS that old probably does not have the capabilities you are trying to use. The USB ports are probably version 1 and will only support

Boot Failure:System Halted (Solution Here Did NotWork) Byccualumni Jan 29, 2006 I am having trouble getting a computer to boot. The http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/boot-failure-system-halted-1 computer I am having trouble with (it is my father in law's in TN, and I am in GA), is a Gateway. I found some information on fixing the problem on a Dell (I assume the bios is the same for both brands as it seems to be), but I cannot figure out how to get it to work. The directions: Reboot your system and hit F2 as soon as you see http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/computer-will-not-boot-up-boot-failure-system-halted-solution-here-did-not-work.43027/ the Dell startup screen (the options are F2 for setup, F12 for boot sequence). In the System Setup screen, do these steps. Select Drives: Make sure your Diskette Drive (3.5 floppy) is set properly (Usually set to Internal) Make sure that "Drive 0: SATA-0" drive is set to "ON" Go to "SATA Operation": Your system proabaly came set to "RAID Autodetect / AHCI" - THIS SETTING CAUSES YOUR SYSTEM TO GO INTO AN IDE LOOP AND DOESN'T ALLOW IT TO FIND YOUR FACTORY INSTALLED SATA DRIVE. CHANGE THE SATA OPERATION SETTING TO "COMBINATION" Reboot - make sure that the boot sequence is set to CD rom before HD and make sure that the reinstall CD is in the drive. Setup will load, hit enter to reinstall XP. Your HD should now be detected and you should see the licensing agreement. If you have your files backed up I reccommend deleting the partition and reformatting prior to installing XP, it will give you that option after the license agreement. Once you have successfully reinstalled the OS, Dell reccommends that you change the SATA Operation setting back to RAID AUTODETECT / AHCI (or back to whatever your factory setting was) to avoid any problems with other IDE devices installed on your system.Click to expand..
