Hi
Have you tried to go into your cmos settings and enable the settings to detect your cd rom
You should be able to use a external cd rom connected through your USB port to load and re-install windows and your drivers if you have the motherboard cd.
The problem is your limited in your options to work from the hard drive but a disk also gives you the option to repair the filing system and replace missing files.
The problem with installing windows on one pc and it not working on another pc is the motherboards are not compatible, and the configuration has to be similar or the same so the hard drive can boot up and communicate between the hardware and software.
Your options are use a CD rom, change your MB or google your problem and hope someone else was able to resolve this issue.
Cheers
I'm finding it difficult running my pc in CMOS mode...it just keep showing same annoying blinking hyphen
hi you cant run your pc/lap top from cmos settings, when you boot up you press either delete or f1 or f2 and it will take you into the bios cmos setup once in there try and find the cd rom option and enamble it so you can use your cd rom cheers

SOURCE: Hard drive driver problem
Hi,
It is possible that your hard drive is a SATA and therefore not readily readable by 98, XP but surprised not even by Vista. In any case, since you would still prefer to run XP (due to other software compatibility issues), pls press F6 when prompted by the XP installer. Additionally, you would need to have ready in a floppy the appropriate SATA drivers for your motherboard. They maybe downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer's website or possibly in the installer/driver CD that came with the PC.
Other than the above, it is also possible that you may have some issues with the availability of XP drivers for the other devices for that computer specially if it is branded.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.

change your ide cable or sata.
Reset your bios settings pull cmos cell from motherbord for minute so all settings are defaults.
Also boot your computer with winxp disk then if you able to enter in setup then go to recovery console mode and run "chkdsk /r' command .
Also check your harddisk is master set jumper in master position .

Hello,
This is not a hardware problem, it's a BIOS problem and install problem. Here is my suggestion:
1. Go into the BIOS and set your boot as a) CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
b) Hard Drive
[and it does not matter what is next just as long as the first two are as above.]
2. Reinstall windows os, when ask you want to format drive and install. (This will erase EVERYTHING and reformat the drive space.)
3. When the install is finish, REMOVE the Windows disc and reboot the system.
This should solve your problem. Sometimes if a file was not installed correctly and you leave the install disk in, windows will try to reinstall the files and go from bad to worst.
Good Luck

the hardrive has failed take it out and have it checked or replace
Hi,
According to your problem first check the hard drive status and make sure that it is ok. If it doesn't detect in bios setup then you can change the cable of the hard drive. Also make sure that the DVD Rom working fine. If the hard drive doesn't detect while you begin setup then clear the bios first. Then reset the bios properly. You may need a firmware update also. If you can not continue the setup then break the partition of the hard drive. You can use partition break up software, like partition magic etc also. If it doesn't solve your problem then you may need to replace the hard drive. To check the hard drive status you can try with another OS installation. Best of luck.
