Hi,
I am over my head here and really need some help. I recently decided to reformat my hard drive, something I've never done before. So I backed up my data to CD, and my friend gave me a floppy with "Killdisk" on it, a program to wipe the hard drive. It took over 2 hours doing whatever it did to wipe the hard drive. Now I thought I would just put my Windows XP Pro cd in the cd drive and follow the prompts. But nothing is ever that easy! My computer tells me "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter" instead of starting up Windows XP pro. I don't know if it's related to this problem, but I am also getting told "Primary Channel: Drive not found. Secondary Channel: Drive not found". Help?
