Either the disk is damaged or the drive is dirty or damaged.\n\nIf the disk is the problem, run  CheckDisk on it.  \n\nStart-->Run\n\nin the Run box, type CHKDSK A:  then press Enter.\n\nIf that doesn't work, the disk cannot be repaired, or the trouble is with the drive.

I assume you are using windows. If you have the recovery disc, pop it in and reload windows. Sounds like some vital file is missing and this will reload it.

You can connect it on a working computer, then go to My Computer -> right click on the external drive -> then click format.\n\nhope this helps...

Replace the Hdd. This is the easiest solution.\nThere are other things to try but, it is best left to someone who already knows how to do it. IF you did, you would not be asking.

How long ago did you purchase your machine? Most good retailers will give a years warranty. Have a look on any manuals you have for the "serial No" of any software you have lost and if you do mange to retreive any make sure you always make a back up disk. Daft i know but did you try system restore or scanreg/restore???

Try to do a fresh install on the computer. If anything something is causing that to happen. If it got corrupted then it might have been with an interferiance with something on the computer. Or possibly a sector went bad? I had that happen to my HD. But a clean install wont hurt you.

Stick the Microsoft operating system disk in the computer and reinstall telling it to reformat the hard drive. Before you do that, be sure to backup what ever you want to save. Works like a charm.

I think the CD you are using is corrupted. Bye a new CD or get it exchanged. See whether your CD has any scratches on that

do a complete wipe and reload after backing up your files because what you did was put 2 copys of windows on top of each other when one wasnt working
