    Sounds like a corrupted registry from the little information you gave us.

    This site uses a popular bulletin board system used by many such sites. Not sure why you think its not user friendly. Seems clear to me how to post an answer.

    Have you tried booting to your XP Cd and running the Repair option?

    Just discovered the system does not recognize the hard drive. Had this problem when I built it. Had to download the driver from the mobo site. Haven't tried it yet this time. Any explanation or other ideas?
