ok here is the thing i cant format my hard drive i have 2 sata 80gig HD's. one has nothing on it and the other windows xp and all my files. i went into bios and choose boot from cd-rom as first bootup. it does not recognize my xp disk in the cd-rom just passes by and coutinues to load windows. the disk is not scrached or anything. the disk reads and loads in windows i tried installing windows in xp thinking it will just restart and maybe take care of itself on its own. it read the disk this time and started windows setup but then i get a blue screen saying windows was not shut down propertly last time bla bla bla. so then i tried a copy of win2000 thinking ill just install that and then update off of my windows xp cd, that gets to windows setup but when i press enter to install windows it says it cannot find a hardrive to install to. wtf. im really lost here and dont know what else i can do. looking for some help.
thanks
i guess if it comes down to it ill just unplug that HD and use the other. i kinda wanted to run linux on one though and xp on the other.
