Putting together a system with a friend, but Windows keeps reformatting the HD in an endless loop. Never had this happen before any ideas?
Can't imagine why the OS forum isn't responding.Originally posted by: Pliablemoose

did you keep the CD in the CDROM and so it keeps endlessly booting from CD rather than HDD?

I assume it is a WD hard drive, try using the utility that came with the drive on a floppy disk.
I had this problem, when it asks you if you want to reformat the hdd say yes and will it fix this problem. It will then format the hdd and go on and complete the setup from the bluescreen to the winxp desktop
So you check the obvious stuff last like me huh?Originally posted by: Pliablemoose
Problem fixed it was a jumper setting, thanks for the help though![]()

Kinda like last week when my Dad was complaining that his router wasn't working right... I went and spent probably an hour checking settings and trying to figure out why only one PC would get on the net at a time... and when it did it would take the cable modem's IP. Then I finally checked the back of the router only to find the cable connection was hooked into the uplink port instead of WAN port.![]()
His response? "I didn't touch the cables."
Well someone did.![]()
