I built a pc a year ago and ran 98SE. I wiped the drive to install XP but had install problems. Best guess was a HD problem.
I purchased a new HD and install worked smoothly.
However a short time later I began experiencing problems. A couple times it refused to boot up.
I have reinstalled several times.
Things seemed to be working and I’ve loaded various programs.
But now I get a boot disk failure message. I insert the CD Rom and it loads immediately.
How do I troubleshoot this. Can I repair the boot sector without funning FDISK?
I can’t believe I have two bad hard drives.
