Computer Crash

I recently bought this computer. I installed Windows Xp after formatting the c: because it had Windows 98 on it. Then the computer got a virus so I deleted everything once again and installed Xp...it worked for a couple of days and then crashed...so i reninstalled Windows Xp again. Also It seems that Windows XP is on both of my partitions on the harddrive. I have 2, a c: and a d:

The main problem is the computer doesn't respond when i try to access the c:

also it cannot start at all when it accesses Windows Xp Home Edition on it. What ever the problem it really just doesn't want to work.

How Do I fix It?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Acording to your explanation, Wheb you installed Win XP tou did not format or perform a clean installation, therefore you have created two partitions When you boot your your computer, you shaould have an option to select which operating syatem you to work with , ks Unfortunatly, it seems that you cannot use either of them you can do the followings:

1.If you have a boot disk insert and restart your computer and see if it works If not then go on to #2

2 Scan your hard drive and reformat it.

3 After formatting you drive, Reinstall your Operating system.

Good Luck!
