Basically my old hd came up with a disk read boot failure. I get this one its detected fine, use xp boot cd to begin partitioning it. end of partition i get told its damaged or is not connected properly (ive checked connections) I decide to delete partition, wait for ages then get told I cant cos its damaged. I restart though this time the disk isnt detected in the bios. I restart and its back but nothings booting from the cd drive. I restart everythings back but xp cd wont boot into itself properly, just hangs. if i turn off the comp and leave it for a while i can get back in to the windows setup. but i cant do anything, the drive just isnt detected. can anyone tell me what is wrong? I need to fix this fast.
