Hey guys/girls. I built a computer about 2-3 years ago and got XP running on it. I eventually got a laptop and stopped going on the PC. Other people still used it and the computer was going insane. My zonealarm was causing the internet to not work and I was restricted access to a lot of things in internet explorer. Googling helped me navigate through bios but the registries I needed to change were not there.
I decided to reinstall xp. I kept getting a 0x0000000b error which is a hdd problem or something. Ok, so I pop in my vista cd and it says my hdd can't be detected.
I have 4 drives. A hdd, dvd-rom, dvd-rw. Whenever I configure my jumpers and such and change master/slave settings, I always get one of the drives to disappear in bios (all three show in post and stuff). My hdd is alone on a cable and it always shows in bios. Now whenever I always get a second area that says hard drive and allows me to choose the two drives taht show up in bios. When I change my priority, I can change floppy, atapi, and whatever I chose under hard drive.
I formatted my hdd using some kill program via dos. If I choose hdd (and stick the xp cd in either dvd drive), it doesn't detect and I get:
Failed to load operating system
However, if I choose whatever dvd drive is sshowing under hard disk in bios and put the xp cd in there, xp starts up but my hdd is never detected. This leads to the bluescreen with that 0x000007b error. If I put the xp cd in teh dvd drive that isn't detected in bios, nothing happens and my screen goes away with the monitor displaying "out of range."
I've tried many combinations and none seem to work and only the hdd and one of the dvd drives seem to get detected (I believe the one that gets detected is the one I have on master at the time).
I have a external cd-rw drive that I could connect via usb.
When I did have xp installed, XP loaded each time. I could play things in teh dvd-rom, and burn with the rw.
