i just reformatted my computer and reinstalled win xp pro, but windows will not boot normally. the only way it will boot is if i hit F8 to go the safe mode menu and select "start windows normally". what is causing this and how do i fix it?

that didnt help.. nothing showed up in the device manager. i ran a scandisk, and it still wont boot. its not my mobo because the diagnostic utility shows that it begins to load the OS, but win xp will not load. anything else?
