Hello, I have been a victim of the blue screen of death. I have Windows XP Home Edition. Just recently, I have downloaded the 6 back up floppy disk for Windows Setup. I followed all the steps. The thing is after you insert the sixth disk, it ask for the windows xp disc. I insert the disc and it says on the bottom of my screen "examining 38171 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi..."
is there any help for this? what do I do?

recognizing your cd drive?

Another way would be to create a partition and copy the XP disk to it and use it for a reference to the cd

go to bootdisk.com and try a ME disk. When it starts up you should have an option for cd support.
Does the cd drive work? can you read the cd?
If not, it may need cleaning.

For your startup disks, one may have a corrupt file, or as suggested later, your HDD may be corrupt.

I'd say get a new hard drive, brother.

Clearly you got through all of the steps involved, but when it came time for windows to examine the disk, it was inaccessible. I would try to use a tool like this http://www.miray.de/products/sat.diskspy.html and see if it can read it. If you can't get a response, get a new drive.
You can 'listen' for bad drives, as well. Listen for it starting up, then peaking, then stopping, then repeating that again and again. Doesn't mean it's totally broken.. but means there is a definite read error.
