WTH do you mean? :frown: People have been tripping over eachother trying to help you out, newbie. Cross-posting is a faux pas and certainly not necessary, you'll get plenty of help in General Hardware if you start cooperating with your helpers a little. Develop some patience, follow advice step-by-step and give feedback on the results, and use some punctuation so people can stand to read your posts.

From your other thread, it sounds like you've been doing several very hazardous things like hot-plugging your ATA cables, and resetting your CMOS with the system on (!). So it's possible that you've damaged your hardware. Might be worth it to take the whole kaboodle to a local computer shop and ask them to try setting up Windows on it for you. If you have a spare PATA hard drive laying around, you might also try setting up Windows on that as a fact-finding step.
