Hi!
Install linux... All these problems would be gone... ;)

Alternatively, most of windows cds are cd bootable too, Just boot with them... Hope it helps... :)

Have a nice day :)

Or visit my friends at http://www.hftonline.com/forum and http://suggestafix.com
Some one there will help you out. Note that they may not be as quick to reply as WHT is, but they are very good at trouble shooting PC's.

Hi!
Actually the reasons could be many.
Here are some
1) Is your harddisk detected.
2) If yes try booting with the XP rescue disks may help.
3) Try a boot disk for Dos or Win from bootdisk.com and run fdisk...

There could be many other issues... These are just some that come to my mind....

have a nice day

P.S. I am sorry on the Linux part, it was just a personal opinion... :)
