I have a similar problem, except i am trying to format my hardrive after my previous one died out on me. I have made sure the primary boot on the bios settings is cd-rom , then the secondary is serial ata then floppy. Is this secondary boot device right or should it be hdd?. currently while trying to load the operating system it comes up with the error {Be_s}{be s with/without the windows xp pro cd in the cd-rom drive. i didn't used to have this error until i replaced the hard drive and im not sure if its related can anyone help?.
I have the same problem actually. a lite-on dvdrw, and it won't boot on my nforce3 unless an ide harddrive is set higher in the boot order than my sata drives which i actually boot from. a bit awkward.. just means that with you go back to the other bootloader once you have installed the stuff.. you can get grub for windows too. it doesn't cause me that much of a problem until today. i'm trying to figure out what's wrong instead of getting a random ide drive and plugging it in :(

Re:
Maybe you need to check the boot process in the BIOS and make sure that it tries to start from the CD-ROM and not the hard drive.
Usually, to get to the BIOS (I don't know how much of a tech that you are), on start up, hit the "del" key when you turn it on to get to it.
Once in BIOS, hit the right arrow button to goto "Boot" and move down to "Boot Priority Device" and make sure that it goes to your CD-Rom first and then your hard drive.

Hello You are right.Your going to need to put a operating system on your new drive.All new drives come blank or clean. Just put in a windows disc and boot from your cd or dvd and follow instructions.
Hi, looks like you will need to format your hard drive and reinstall windows.

To install new version of XP. Insert XP CD into drive,
reboot pc pressing F1 button.. This takes you into BIOS, change your primary
boot device to CDrom, save changes and reboot. Select boot from CD once this
appears and wait for files to be installed. Select the part of the hard drive
you wish to use for your operating system (usually the largest) and select
partition this drive. Delete any previous os, and reformat hard drive. (Be
aware this removes everything saved on your hard drive, so always back up
first) Re boot afterwards and reinstall operating system. Hope this helps
I suggest booting from a bootable cdrom disk, instead of a floppy disk, USB drive, etc. Everything except the cdrom can quite easily become infected with a virus just by plugging it into the computer. You MUST create the bootable cdrom from a KNOWN clean computer! If you try to create one from the infected system, you can almost be assured you will only create an infected cdrom!
If you don't have a way of creating a bootable cdrom, try booting your system from your Windows installation cd / dvd. Do a complete format before the install and then SHUT DOWN the computer! Do NOT just reboot and continue with the installation of the OS. Viruses are "memory resident" in that they load themselves up into RAM when the computer boots and will remain there until the machine does a complete shut down. I recommend you shutdown (i.e., turn off the computer) and restart the machine a couple of times AFTER doing the format to be assured that the virus is eradicated.
Once you are satisfied the virus no longer exists, you can go ahead with a new install of the OS. The FIRST thing to do before loading ANY of your personal files back onto the computer is to install a virus scanning software -- and make sure it is active and the virus pattern files are current. After scanning the hard drive for problems and finding none, can you go ahead with the installation / restore of your personal files.
Chances are pretty good that the reason the computer runs OK for a couple of days and then the virus reappears is that a file you have installed or copied over from your backup is infected. Each time you launch the program / file, the virus gets installed and the cycle starts again.
Hard drive has bad sectors on it which is why its giving you that message even though you can go thru the restore. Normally going thru the system cd and then the recovery cd should bring you into windows with the device drivers installed.
Do you want Install any software, or do you want to Install Windows Operating System.Installing Windows in your Computer is a easy thing Just say what software want to Install
