First remove all partitions from your hard drive. Then try fdisk /mbr Then install your OS. Windows stinks, use linux ;)

You should look for a Windows 98 SE (second edition) dics on eBay or elsewhere on line.\nInstall it and then do a Windows Update on-line.

Replace the hard drive, if it fixes the problem then you know that they hard drive was messed up, if not, then you got a whole different problem...Good Luck.

Why not just go to a Electronics Store and just buy a new hard drive. It doesnt matter if its new or old, the wire that connects them does.

either your harddrive is crashed, of it is bad. It need major work, if you were here where I lived you could bring it to me, but you should take it to a shop where they can find out the problem

Replace the Hdd. This is the easiest solution.\nThere are other things to try but, it is best left to someone who already knows how to do it. IF you did, you would not be asking.

As already suggested, the hard drive is a likely candidate.  If you have Windows XP installed, try booting from your windows installation disk.  (You may have to change your BIOS settings so tha the CD drive is first in the boot sequence and the hard drive is second.)  When the setup screen displays, choose the Repair option.  This will take you to the Recovery Console.  Then run "CHKDSK c:" and see if reports errors.  If it does, you may be able to repair it using "CHKDSK c: /r".   You could also try the diagnosic program that came with your hard drive (or can be found on the manufacturers site).\n-------------------------\nDid you try the "repair" option on the installation screen (I think "R" instead of "enter") and then CHKDSK as described above?
