David;
    i think i know what your problem is your hard drive might be a little
old and woar out try this:
go into bios setup program look for an option that will let your bios wait
a few seconds before initializing the hard drive this might help it worked
for me with an old 2gb hard drive however this option isnt in very many
bioses
