- No apologies required ... I didn't do enough research on hd installation and now I am in a mess..heres what I did . When I got the new hd it didn't come with instalation cd so I didn't realize I needed it to be able to format hd, anyway after a couple of sleepless nights i was able to get comp. to reconize hd. I updated all my drivers,had a blue screen errordriver IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR EQUAL,finally got through that...... now I can not format hd. I can not re-install windows because my installation cd is older than what i have running .alot of my programs are not running correctly and in bios ini goes like this:

default=signature(78cdcdc)disk(0)rdisk(0)partion(1)\windows
{operation systems}
signature(78c2cdc)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows=microsoft windowsxp home editin\fast detect

I have tried to re-install using microsoft download to a floppy but I am getting bad sector error can not complete.. I am not that familiar with all this programing stuff just stubborn ha ha . there has to be a fix for this..
