If you want a better version of windows xp you can try pro. corporate. Its on supernova.

[exeus]

the only differance between pro and corperate is the key used to register it!

[asmithz]

It runs faster, the fat cut out of it. And bugs are fixed.

oh yer relateing to your question have you tried to "fdisk the MBR"?

[N£MO]

Get yourself a corporate edition of any software you can,you wont need to activate it.

[Wolfmight]

that's weird.. must have a currupt system file that it cant seem to fix.. Reinstall or Go Insaine trying to find the solution. hmm

It would seem that your machine is not looking to your HD for an OS from which to boot.

[chinook_apache]

yeah you might have had ur bios settings been changed. for OS i would reccomend windows .ner server 2003 really stable better than xp pro/corp and more reliable
