Good. Your motherboard has detected ONE disk-drive.
Do you have just one connected disk-drive on your PRIMARY channel, or do you have two connected disk-drives (via the 2 connectors on the one ribbon-cable on the PRIMARY channel) ?
If you have two drives connected via one ribbon-cable, you MUST set the 'master/slave/cable-select' jumpers on BOTH disk-drives, to identify which of the two will be the 'master' and which will be the 'slave'.
Also, check that the 'second' disk-drive is getting electrical power.
> NTLDR MISSING
Like I said, you deleted 99% of the files, including the 'NTLDR' file.
Your computer is trying to "boot" from the 1% of the files that still exist on the disk-drive, but cannot find the now-deleted file.
Perfectly normal, given that you have formatted the disk.
You can format Hard Disk using FDISK command from Windows CD or you can download any Disk Management tool from the web site or the company provided software.
IT IS NORMAL FOR THE HARD DRIVE TO BECOME VERY HOT WHILE WORKING. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO CHANGE YOUR RAM ONCE AND TRY. HANGING ISSUES ARE MOSTLY RELATED TO RAM.
You may have the hard drive partitioned into two or more partitions.
Delete all the partitions and create a single partition and then format this single partition on the hard drive.
hi Kumar, you may not have noticed it in the past, but most drives aren't 100% the capacity that is shown on the box.
There are two reasons for this:
System Overhead use and the way Microsoft counts a MegaByte (1,024,000 bytes) versus how the manufacturers count a MegaByte (1,000,000 bytes).
