My Freind's computer stopped booting from the HD
We tried to reinstall windowsXP from the rescue disc
and it got to where you reboot the computer and it again could not
boot from HD
He Has 2 HD so we formatted the second drive changed them over and
tried reinstalling again but had the same results
Anyone any idea's as I'm stumped
