Harddrive Help Please!!!! :confused:

The other day I ran into a bit of a problem. First of all I got a
message which stated that my "D" or storage drive needed to be
reformatted so I did so. Now whenever I start windows it either just
keeps loading without actually logging in to wondows and then
repeatedly restarts or else it shows this message. "Windows did not
start successfully due to a recent software or hardware change"...then
gives the option to start windows with the "Last known good
configuration or else to start windows anyway". Yet when I choose one
or the other it just goes to the "Windows Xp" loading screen and then
just keeps "loading" until it restarts and doesn't run Windows Xp. IF
ANYONE HAS ANY ADVICE OR WAYS IN WHICH I CAN FIX THIS PLEASE WRITE ME.
I have my windows Xp disk but it won't even load to let me repair or
reinstall it all to my computer or at least I don't know how to. Is
there anyway I can bypass all of this and reinstall the disk manually
or anything to fix my harddrive. So I'm really confused but if you know
of anyway that I could reinstall Windows on my computer or even fix this
"storage drive" problem i'd be forever grateful. Thanks a bunch,

Brandon.

Start computer,enter the BIOS,install xp cd,select to boot to cd (priority
boot device,or similiar),once at xp info page,press r for recovery,press
enter
key for password,then type:CHKDSK C: /R When its thru,type:CHKDSK D: /R
When thru type:EXIT Let xp restart.Also,D: should have no bearing on xp
starting,make sure C: is priority drive in BIOS,and jumper pins are
configured
properly on the drives.
