    it could be three things.
    1. your HD is fucked. the sector block could be corrupted.
    2. your XP disc (if its a copy), is fucked. get a different disc or buy a new XP disc or if its real, ask MS to send you another.
    3. your BIOS COMS is fucked. the recent virus sometimes attacks the BIOS setting. you may want to reset your BIOS.

    it took me 8 tries to get my computer running. formated 19 times with w2k and xp. but its still fucked. i need to buy a new computer / HD. Keep trying to install your XP again. once you do, check your boot.ini file to see if the boot record has one OS. if it says 2 or more, delete the line with the second OS and reformat and reinstall.
