Really Odd Error Message!!!

[24hrs]

To anyone who followed my ongoing "computer cant start/ monitor wont go on" saga, i thank you....... but i have hit another brick wall

i start the computer up.... it goes through a bunch of stuff and i get to the screen wheere it asks me if i want to run windows normall/command prompt/ safe mode.......

i have tried each, and when i do it gives me this error message:

"a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer


check for viruses on your computer and remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. check hard drive to see if it is properly configured and terminated. Run chkdsk /F to check for hard drive corruption and then restart your computer

i dont see how im going to run chkdsk if i cant get to command prompt at all.... and also, before i get this message i get just a flash of windows loading, so the hd must be plugged in properly

right, so ive decided to re-install an operating system

I cant find my xp cd, so i have decided to install win 2k pro

with my cd drive, im on the lanparty nf4 screen for *ages* ( i'm not sure whats up with that ) ..... but anyway, i get through the first stage of installing it ( copying files deleting xp, blah blah ) it tells me that it wants to restart and continue.... fair enough, i let it restart and whatnot BUT it always takes me back to the start of the setup again ( and i have progresed through that numerous times )

i unplugged the psu out of the cd rom drive, and the computer boots very promptly, and gives me the choice of starting up on win 2k, to continue the set up. (booting of the hd it seems ) it loads 2k and takes me to a different setup screen than before, but i need the psu plugged into the cd rom drive to continue

with the cd drive plugged in, and even when i make the hd 1st boot choice and remove cd rom drive from 2nd and third ( and remove it as primary slave ) it still wont boot off the hard drive


can anybody assist me with this?
