Awesome. Thanks everyone!

Thanks so much for your help guys, but it seems my hard drive has given up the ghost. The BIOS won't even recognize it anymore. If I get an entirely new drive, will I be able to install XP on it with my old key or will I have to get a whole new copy?

I got the data I needed off of it, but now it cannot be formatted through the recovery console or Windows XP setup. It's already deleted all the data on it, but it won't reformat. I left it on for 24 hours and it was still at 0%. Is there anything I can do besides get a whole new hard drive?

seems like the program works, according to the testimonials, but for the same price I could get a brand new 160GB 7200RPM drive! I have an external drive en route so I'll just see what I can get off of it and then reformat.

samsung had no diagnostic/setup utility on their site, only manuals and 1 useless program. I'm afraid to reboot because I might not make it back to windows. Are you sure chkdsk /r will repair a corrupted hard drive?

I had the EXACT same problem when installing XP home on a hard drive that already had NT on it. The problem was with the HD, not the mobo or CPU. Had to order a whole new hard drive and install XP on that, then with both drives hooked up I could get into my old files and transfer them to the...

I just thought of that when I was rebooting, can't believe I didn't think of it before. I was able to boot from the XP disc, but was unable to perform a repair installation because my hard drive is corrupt. What should I do now?

As stated in the problem, I am unable to download ANYTHING from the internet. I get that annoying red X dialog box that won't connect to server no matter where I try it. Although 2 days ago I could download anything. Also, I tried repairing XP but on startup I'm not given the option to boot...

I built this computer and have never had any problems with it up until this point. I was editing the registry to stop AOL from starting all those annoying programs on startup. All I did was delete a few entries that had AOL in it. Also, I tried overclocking a little, but it wouldn't boot so I...
