Boot up

Haveyou tried booting from a restore disk of any sort? If you can at least get to a command prompt, type the command FDISK /MBR which will reset the master boot record and possibly fix your prolem. Hope this helps!

Get yourself some diagnostic software such as Norton Utilities. These diagnostic programs are not expensive, and can detect and repair an enormous range of problems. Also, many of them can be run without booting from your hard drive.

However, in the meantime you might try looking at your system BIOS which you can access when your computer first boots up. Make sure that the settings are correct - correct hard drive parameters etc. If you are not sure what these are, and the computer you are using still has the original hardware that it came with, try setting the BIOS to the factory defaults.

Good luck
