Dear Friends/Experts

I know this question might have put before also but could not search in this forum so reposting it.

Well one of my friends systems has a problem. He is getting a message like unable to load the operating systems and he has tried to boot with CD for re installing and reformatting but its getting stuck after checking the configuration of the system.

System Config

256 * 2 Ram
160 GM Hard disk
Windows XP

I wanted to know what could be the problem ?

Thanks

Kunal

looks like a problem with the HDD / sata cable - check the HDD for bad sectors using seatools. change the HDD sata cable and sata power cable... try another sata port on the mobo.
