nice info nish_higher

@patkim: I suggest since your disk is detectable check all your cables firm & intact then boot through XP Bootable CD & choose Repair then restart & boot from Harddisk if problem solved then fine else Format Hard Disk then run chkdsk for badsectors. If there are bad sectors use disk wipe software to destroy all the data and send harddisk for replacement. If no badsectors present try installing the OS again maybe your problem due to corrupt installation
