right so i bought a new 80GB WD amd athlon 2600+ and a biostar mobo....and as i wait for my new windows xp pro to come i load up my old win98 for an os. mind you i used some spare parts from my old comp such as an 8x sony cdrom an old video card that cant be identified so on and so forth. so my new copy of windows gets here and i format my new hd only to find that the next time i goto boot all i get is an invalid system disc error. hmmm so i press any key as the screen indicates and NVIDIA's boot agent trys to have a go at it and nothin happens..... the boot agent eventually aborts and i get a media cable error along with another error saying the boot agent has stopped. i've set the bios to boot from the cd all i get is a
Boot CD:
then the same old message.....my bios detects the cdrom and my hardrive i've check to make sure and yes my hardrive is spinnin and not making any extra noises it appears to be fine. and just to make sure its not the hardrive i've tried booting other hds off of the computer and i get the same deal....please help i've questioned all my geeky friends and all tell me to quit being such a cheap ass and take it to the shop.
