Here is the long version shortened down.

1. Received a virus
2. Reformatted and Reinstalled windows xp sp2
3. installed Ubuntu on second partition.
4. Ubuntu kept crashing.
5. Unistalled Ubuntu.
6. Windows crashed with blue screan of death.
7. Tried reinstall windows.
8. would not read from anything.
9. I messed around with the SATA cables and settings until I could get windows reinstalled.

Now I believe I have a corrupt bios or a virus in the bios (maybe motherboard). Everytime I reinstall windows (tried with numerous cd's) my drivers will not install. I did delete all partitions one of the times to start from clean hd. Any one have any idea?
