I built a new system, everything went together well, here's my problem.
I have an OEM version of windows xp home, and once it does a few things and gets to a screen which says something like "examining 194098 MB on disc on bus 0 on atapi" anyway, the hard drive light is on, but not flickering, and nothing is moving on the screen, I'm not sure its crashed, but I'm pretty sure it is. Is this a hard drive problem? What should I do? I've formatted it using the cmd prompt on this new pc, but it didn't help? This was my first build, temps looked good, and etc. No idea! Please help me!
