Sata HD problems

[nichos]

Sata HD 160gb had problems resently & must have deleted the boot info or something.

After reformating it with Maxblast when I insert the win XP CD it says:-



File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded.



ERROR 7



Setup cannot continue.



Any help to restore HD with XP will be appreciated ..........nick

Thanx,

I got it going BUT!, that happened when I disabled that Sata HD in Bios & tried to install another Pata Maxtor, which proved corrupted anyway.

Should that cause the SATA to loose its data?. ........nick

I cleaned the ram sticks & have been able to properly reformat my two old HDs & install XP.

I shatter to think of all the troubles I went to the last 6-8 months with failures. ........nick
