So I am hoping the "original settings" will stop so many progrms from crashing.
There are several ways to reset your Bios. But until you are locked out of it, there is an easy solution. You need to reset your bios. The location and wording of this option varies for every different BIOS.It will typically be called "Reset to Default", "Factory Default", "Setup Defaults", or something similar. It may be located in one of the tabs or it may be an option listed near the navigation buttons.
What you need to do is reboot your PC, press F12 or DEL until the bios screen arrives. Then you need to just navigate to 'Defaults' or "Load Defaults" or "Load Reset to Defaults", select it, press yes and select "save and exit". The PC will restart and the BIOS should be reset to original setting.

You would probably do right to reinstall Windows. The bios handed off to Windows long before the splash screen comes up. It is probably a faulty driver or corrupt registry entry. If it was me I would reload Windows

Both solutions given to my problemon this website as soon as I posted it was right on the mark. I replaced the CR2032 battery on the mother board and reconneted all the wirings and rebooted it and every thing is back up and running. Thanks to FixYa.com.

It Seems to me IDE HDD In your BIOS should be set to on.

When in doubt do without, that is remove the new hard drive cable and power, remove the DVD drive and try loading booting the XP from just this CD device. Enter the BIOS and check if the system sees the device. If it's not found in the BIOS then you'll never boot anything. Address it as the Primary device on the cable (I don't use CS) and see if the BIOS sees it.
If you get CD device seen in the BIOS then try to boot the CD in it. If it boots then power off and connect up your 40gb drive (optioned as Primary) on the other cable. Now power on as check the BIOS for the drive and the DVD device. If both are seen then boot the cd and try to load XP. After it's up and running install the other CD device as a Slave on one of the cables.
