Ok, um, so when your computer says "can't load operating system" and um, won't boot off the XP CD, what's a girl to do except curl into a ball and cry?"

Did it just happen one day, or have you been installing and changing stuff?

Thats preety bad!! I've had problems like that before... it could be that the hard drive is badly damaged, in that case you'll have to ask repair people

exactly what NTurtle said. My Hard drive is seriously damaged (atleast 4 bad sectors at the time) everyonce in awhile, it won't load th OS.

Can you hear the Hard drive spinning when you turn the PC on?
Is your PC making a "Clicking" sound on start up?

If nothing, un attach, and re-attach the Hard drive cable and see if that helps.

I seriously recomend buying Norton System works for XP.

Unfortunetley, I can no longer afford my new guitar because of it
