Hey,
Here's the story:
New computer, 2 hard drives (possible were configured in a RAID
formation
since I have a folder on my System and Driver Restore CD called VIA
SATA Raid
Controller\SATA\Winxp.
The computer became riddled with malware and spyware so I thought I'd
format
my drives, however upon reinstalling Windows XP Home with a
reinstallation CD
from a previous computer, which I was able to boot off. The setup
completes
and reboots the computer to as it does,
but then I'm greeted with the error message:
could not open drive: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)
NTLDR could not open drive: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)
any ideas?
I've tried running a boot disk but I just get the message:
'Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk,
check the boot path and disk hardware.'
I've been having some help from a nice person on experts-exchange,
where you
can follow the previous progress of the problem which has seemingly
been
relatively fruitless.

Any help is much, much appriciated.
Cheers
