Windows Error, please help?

[Magrus]

I have been trying to install XP Home edition on my new computer to set it all up, and I have had nothing but problems. I purchased a full XP Home with SP2 edition tuesday, and a PS/2 connection keyboard today, in order to fix the problems I was having with my USB keyboard not working to boot from CD. I set up the boot priority so my CD-rom drives boot before my hard drive, and it went fine to booting from the drive I put my Windows disc into with the new keyboard. It ran through loading all the stuff it needs to from the disc up to the point it said "Starting Windows". Then, it made sounds like it was attempting to run a disc, or perhaps my hard drive (most likely my hard drive by the sound of it), and I got this error message:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS Memory options such as caching or shadowing.

If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0X0000006F (0XC0000020, 0X00000000, 0X00000000, 0X00000000, )

I rebooted, and tried again, got this message again. I shut down, checked all of the connections to my hard drive and drives. Now, to be honest, I don't much about connecting all of the parts to my computer, so I could have done something wrong. However, I have been pulling my new hard drive out and switching it between the new and old towers for the past month in an attempt to get my new computer set up properly. SO, I have learned to put the jumpers in the proper place when switching from master to slave, and which connection to use for the power for my hard drive, and I even tried switching between the two connections for my ribbon for hard drive in my attempts to bypass this message. Nothing worked.

So, rather than toy with things in the BIOS I do not understand, would someone be able to help me with this problem?

Nevermind, figured out to get around it. I think the ribbon to my hard drive might have been slightly loose. Not sure, but I got my system working finally last night. WOOHOO.
