REEBOOT n select.. HDD not detected in BIOS

[knightwarrior007]

My system configuration:
Intel P4,
512 MB DDR1,
Intel 915GAV,
80GB seagate sata,
XP SP2

The system generally start up and works at slower speed than usual,it suddenly restarts.
When it restarts, it shows an error message "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device

I tried to reinstall XP many times... even checked my HDD with different SATA cable in another system.. the same eror message..

In BIOS setting, sometimes my HDD is detected and sometimes not detected.
While installing XP, the setup files are being copied, n while it reeboots in 15 seconds, the HDD is not detected... Even if it is detected and installed, the same "Reboot and select....... problem persists"....

I thought, it's problem eith the hard disk, and BOUGHT A NEW HARDDISK, even with the new harddisk, before and after installing XP , the "Reeboot problem" existed...

And after installing all XP, drivers and MS office (only these three), the system responded but slower, once when i installed Nokia PC suite, it showed an error message "FULL PAGE WITH BLUE BACKGROUND"-"white letters mentioning DUMP MEMORY ERROR and "like ' if you get this prob for d first time.,,, blah ,blah,blah"


plz help me out,, what d problem,, am totally weird out..

That's a BIG freaking CLUE.

You have a HARDWARE problem... either the drive is going bad, or the
controller on the motherboard is.

Go to Seagate site, download Seatools, preferably the bootable version, then
test your HD
