im am tryin to reformat my computer using an XP Professional CD. I boot up my computer with the XP cd inside. Everything goes as normal as it boots inton the Windows Setup Screen. it starts loading all the neccessary files so that it can start the windows setup but then it gets stuck at the "Setup is Starting window" line and it never goes in to the option where I can press Enter to enter setup then press F8 that i understands TOS. I repeat this process many times and it freezing at the same screen. Rarely if i get lucky it goes to the Press Enter screen to continue setup but pressin enter wont do any good as in it freezes at that point. I have tried to see if this was a CD problem or a hard drive problem by takin my hard drive and the XP CD to my friends house and tried to reformat my computer there. Everything went smoothly as a normal reformat. So i took the hard drive home hoping that just by stickin it in to my computer it will load up the OS. now im getting the error message Missing NTDLR press CTR+ ALT+ DEL to restart. then i tried to reformat my computer again and the same problem arises as it freezes at the "Setup is Starting Window" line. Any help would be appecriated.. Im concluding that something is wrong with my BIOs but i need some advice. thanks alot!
