Here is a brief summary of the problem I'm experiencing.

1) I have cleared the cmos on my Abit KV8-Pro Socket 747 motherboard.

2) After clearing cmos my bios will not recognize my hard drive. I've tried selecting auto-detection in the bios, but it will not detect it at all.

3) I can't reformat my computer because the hard drive is not detected. I will always recieve this error message.

"Setup cannot set the required Wnidows XP configuration information.
This indicates an internal setup error.

Contact your system administrator."


 
I started to think it could be my IDE cables that were bad. I replaced them with spare IDE cables. Here is the result the computer loaded up normally, and then gave me this message. It then went to a white bar to load and stopped.


"Windows could not load because the following file is missing or corupt:
\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM

You can repair this file starting Windows Setup using the original Windows Setup CD-ROM"
