pc wont boot into vista or windows 7 (reformatted as 7 was doing it now vista is) come up with boot sector error. now my pc wont even boot the vista cd, it get to the grew loading bit and does that, that just pauses on a black screenafter the green bar keeps going across. before my pc did this i started experiencing my pc slowing down and occasionally freezing up every 10-20 seconds for minutes on a time. But other times it would boot and load fine.# but now i cant boot and cant seem to find a way to reformat and put a different os. Any suggestions? Maybe Hard disk has died/failed? |

may years ago i had a problem simular .... anyways i think i was caused by the constant rebooting . long shot but check the time and date in your bios ... make sure the jumper hasnt come off the hard drive check all connections .. attch a new harddrive if its ata give me your addy and i send you a drive just to see if it works ... its only 4 gig so its only for test |
