Booting problems

Recently I have had a virus/trojan that would prevent me from booting, so I removed the drive and replace with a new one. My PC is virus protected but it seems to have the same problem as before "It keeps booting into a black screen" I will boot okay in safe mode. but to get it up and running it takes several attempts of re-booting be fore windows XP will load properly. I have to disable the floppy drive as when the machine was trying to boot it accessed the floppy(I have turned off "Floppy seek" in the BIOS. Could it be that my power supply (450wt) is not performing properly, any help on this would be appreciated

It sounds like something is preventing you from booting Windows XP, the question is what? To possibly find out, you can boot Windows with boot logging turned on, it works the same way as you did safe booting. This creates a log in the root or Windows directory (not sure which). From that log we can determine what is preventing the boot. I'll find out which log is created and tell you later. I think it's ntbt**.log in the Windows directory.
