in ur BIOS settings (hope u kno that), choose first boot drive as ATAPI CD ROM DRIVE.\n\nIt will work, provided the o/s installation cd a bootable one ; )

Go to the properties of C drive and click on Disk Clean up it will take time because your system has huge unwanted data, but it will work wait for some time. Hope it will work !

you cannot partition your "C" drive if it is the current drive being used to run your computer. burn download to CD and Boot up on the CD and run disk partition, disk manager to set up drive as you want

You need to make the CD a bootable disk. Make sure it is still set to boot the CD rom drive before it boots anything else. You might need to start in MS Prompt mode and just manually initialize setup.\n\nIm assuming youre trying to make a restore disk with your operating system?\n\nGo to this site:\nhttp://www.tech-forums.net/computer_articles/restore/restore-disk.php\n\nIt basically gives you step by step directions.

Try re-installing the drivers for the drive through the Device Manager in the Control Panel.\n\nIf you are unsure whether you have the drivers go to the manufacturer website and search for your model.\n\nThen you sgould be able to download the drivers with instructions on installation.

You just need to boot from this disc and run a repair installation, and give it your new valid key code.  This should get you fixed up.\n\n~Kyle

If you have the Windows CD provided with your computer (or one you bought yourself), turn on the computer, let it boot, put the CD in the drive then restart.  The computer should boot from the CD and you will be able to reformat your drive using either a "quick" or "normal" method with the NTFS option, I honestly don't know what the difference is but I use the normal option.  Once that is done you will be able to reinstall Windows.\n\nThat was assuming Windows XP.

Make sure your machine is setup to boot off of your CD-rom and then insert disc one of your system recovery set (or some name of that nature).  Follow the prompts on the screen with the realization that everything currently on your harddrive will be wiped out!  Good luck!\n\nDrop me a line if you need more help.

Maybe the CD is not a BOOTABLE CD. It has to be for it to work, but you can also use a start-up disk (Win98) if have any,.....or search and download it off the internet. during the booting, select start with CD-ROM support.

use "DiskInternals Undelete" to recover the lost data to another proper drive, then you can reformat the c: drive and the it should work fine.. install windows then copy the recovered data back to the formatted drive

you may have turned off files tat windows needs to load in normal mode try getting into safe mode and restarting some programs in msconfig to fix it. If that doesnt work you can try windows restore but I persnaly am not to fond of that. If that doesnt work the next step would be to try to repair your installation with your windows cd
