Hello so my computer hasn't been working for a while now.....windows xp x64 os...every time i boot, it gets to the loading screen, and then after that turns black, doesnt get to the login screen...and resets and boots back up again.........read on...
so i've been basically just using a linux mint 7 disc to just use my computer in that live linux mode where i can still browse the internet....
HOWEVER>
A week ago, now i cant even do that because the Primary IDE Slave isn't detected for some reason, I even replugged everything back in..still not even a new windows 7 installation...doesnt work...
what do I do?

If you are running a live cd, then you are not using the hard disk,

UK MP's are thieving scumbags.
EU members are worse.

so the problem when using the live cd is nothing to do with the
hard disk.
