''Corrupted hard disk drive or severely corrupted Windows''
I have had a disc drive error when I've started up before.. so I'm wondering if it could be due to that..
1. Insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD. Note: If you have a recovery CD or a restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows XP CD it is likely the below steps will not resolve your issue.
2. Reboot the computer, as the computer is starting you should see a message to press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message press any key.
3. In the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu press the R key to enter the recovery console.
4. Select the operating system you wish to fix, and then enter the administrator password.
^^^ which operating system am I wishing to fix?? It only lets me enter 1 key... and I have no idea what the administrator password is..
5. Once at the recovery console type chkdsk /r
6. Once completed type exit and see if issue is resolved.
What a pain in the butt this is.. I'm considering taking it back
