Ok couple of things to try.
1st of is boot sequence in bios.
2nd hdd priority in bios
3rd if your doing a full format, then i would set boot priority to 1st cd/dvd and select correct drive. You also want to delete all partitions on the hdd.
Ensure hdd is seen in bios.
Boot into setup of windows/linux and check its seen again, format it and let it instal. If you get the same error once rebooted, its your boot sequence.
TBH i would be thinking of installing windows xp on a P4 setup.
Run repair console from xp cd and use command fixmbr to repair master boot recordLast edited by cunny; 14 March, 2011, 19:30.sigpic
