i tried to format,
boot from xp disc,
freezes at different items in the blue loading screen before setup starts (HAL, pci kernel, scsi drivers blah blah etc)
tried other cd-rom, didn't work
disabled secondary ide devices, didn't work
disconnected 1 hd and 1 cd-rom, didn't work
disconnected floppy, didn't work
cd is OK. my aunt installed xp yesterday
tried diff slave/master configs using diff ide cables, didn't work
took out 1 ide cable, didn't work
tried other cable, didn't work

ritenow when pressing power button nothing happens, no spinning HD.. just the 2 lights burning (power+hd light)

psu faulty? i don't think its my psu cause it worked all the time..
i will try to get it booting again, screw arounbd with the cables a bit.

my comp is overclocked.. should i put it back on default?

i did mem check a month ago. shouldd be ok

any suggestions are welcome
 
:D She woke up. It doesn't detect my HD. Well.. kind of, it shows it with weird characters like ðgfh-dfk5l54¼654yfg

this sucks.. i had this before though.. need to screw with the cables some more...try the other cable again
 
lol

well... it detects the HD now... but when it loads the xp disc and it says "detecting hardware configuration...." on the black screen... the letters dissappear and nothing happens... nothing no blinking lightst.. no activity

i will try the other cd-rom now... and i will try to put the cd-rom on a seperate cable.
 
no, i didn't reset cmos, but i don't think that's neccesary because it has worked for over 2 years without changing anything... maybe i should set my clock back
 
i am not back.. i am on another comp

anyways.. i cannot reset my cmos either cause my manual is on my comp.. lol
