Hard drive problem, OS Problem.
« on: January 26, 2006, 04:38:46 PM »
It would seem as my hard drive was being partioned by my downloading Windows XP it was accidentally turned off. Now, everytime I try to reinstall the OS, it says OS Error.
Anyone have any ideas?
Or any ways to completely wipe my hard drive so I can start the whole thing over again?

    Set your cdrom as the first boot device in bios.
    Boot the computer with the XP disk in the cdrom.
