Default Re: HELP!! My hard drive will not boot!

The XP cd still doesn't autorun at bootup. I even tried an an old win 95 and 98 cd and they didn't autorun either. I also even tried using a different ROM drive....still didn't work. With the cd in the rom, my pc will boot and you'll see the cd rom light flashing, but then I'll just get "error loading OS".

Should I install my floppy drive and put a win 98 boot disk in then at the A: prompt type in FDISK and delete partitions. then reboot with disk still in the drive and at the A: prompt type in FORMAT C: and start over that way?

Or will that do any good since cd's do not autorun making Windows setup unable to run at bootup?
