Computer will not boot up
« on: January 10, 2008, 11:38:16 AM »
I have a p3 933 running XP and was working fine then 1 day it wouldn't boot up. I am attaching a pic showing the system and hopefully the messages I get.

Please help

Cannot tell from the pics but those are the setup screens when it's loading the BIOS info...
What do the error messages say and what happened prior to this condition ? ?

THe 2nd pic is as far as it gets and stops there. I have inserted my windows cd but when it trys to boot from it, the display says no hard disk found and then it will exit and reboot back to the same screen again. One time it started to run CHDSK but stalled and did not finish.

If it will not even boot you may have to pull it from that machine and install it in another hooked up as a slave drive to run chkdsk /r on it...
