please help computer wrecked!!!
Pc type: Compaq presario c300
Os: xp sp2
Ok well im using another pc atm but my pc is completely wrecked. One day it just wouldnt turn on anymore. So i decided to format the disk with the xp installation, however it said it could not find a hard disk to format. I had a look on the internet and i found out that i needed to disable sata by going into bios and doing so, and then my xp setup would recognise the disk and it worked i think, however when going into the xp setup i go onto the welcome screen where u can press enter to proceed in the setup or r to repair disk. I have tried both options, and in both cases all it does is go to a screen where down the bottom it says examining disk, it does this and just sits there on that screen for hours. I left it on for 24 hours and it was still the same. So i had no idea to do i thought my disk mite be destroyed or something so i got a copy of unix slax which works fine an i can read off my hard drive except it wont let me delete anything and when i go to change permissions for the disk it does not let me change it so i can delete. I just want to format my disk and start over again can someone please help!! it would be very much apreciated!!
