Hi
I had to re-install because when the processor went wrong, i could notboot to any thing so, having all the disks ( windows XP and FC5 ), ithought why not re-install everything from scratch .I think that there may be a hard drive problem on the boot configuration, but since i am not into the hardware side of pc's i would not kowwhere to start examining for errors.

Could be that you suffered multiple instances of hardware failure due topower problems, cooling problems, cabling issues, or whatever.

If the drives are not physically b0rked, you may just need to zero themfirst to kick them into life. If the issue is more serious, then sorrybut it looks like another visit to the shop for new drives too.

First off, I'd get the hardware checked by someone who actually knowswhat they're doing. It could be that the CPU is inadvertentlyoverclocked or set to the wrong voltage. It could be a memory timingissue. It could be any of a myriad of hardware issues, but since youadmit you know nothing about the hardware you are working with, youreally need someone knowledgeable there with you to take a look.
