Hello, when loading my windows xp, I get an error saying Error Loading Operating Systems.
I've read some of the other threads about these errors, but none of them seem to be very helpful.
It's a fairly new computer, and it has been working for quite some time, so unlike the other situations, where people get the error right after installing xp, I got mine at random.
I wasn't using my computer one day, so I decided to turn it off and save on the electrical bill. I was at the login screen in windows xp, and I pressed the power button on my computer which initialized the shutdown process.
A few hours later, when I load up my computer, everything seems fine up until I get the Error loading Operating System.
I've never had this problem ever before, and I made absolutely no changes to any bios settings.
So far, I've tried loading defaults on bios, tried replacing the IDE cables (it's a 20gb Western Digital Harddrive) and had no luck so far. I was thinking about reformating, but I really want to try and avoid doing it, hopefully it'll save me time.
I would really appreciate any info at all on getting this fixed, I don't know what I'll do with out my computer.
Thanks
