Ok...About a week or so ago i reformatted and re-installed windows, due to a virus (deleting partitions as well). I sucessfully re-install XP and nothing else except all drivers and a game. While playing my game online i heard a click (like a dial-up modem disconnecting)and after about 30-60 sec. the pc freezes.Upon restart it doesnt recognize any drives on my IDE. It then says failure to boot insert system disk and press enter.The only drive working is the A drive...for which i have no disk.So i hit enter and it goes to black screen with blinking underscore.After reseting from there it then boots normally. I began playing game for about an hour and then same thing...this time no success after multiple restarts. I figure this could be a number of things...any suggestions? FYI- Ihave 1 cd-rom, 1 dvd-rom,2 HDD's,and Floppy...they boot in that order Thanks, Nick
You best get all of your important files off of your hard drive, because it is more than likely going belly up.
it is pretty clean because i just formatted a week ago...do you believe that is the problem? should i just put xp on my other HDD?
